Fiber Network Equipment Commercial Norms

Honestly good call and we’re looking at raising funds to do exactly that - however some of these buildings have values near a billion dollars each and there is more money in commercial real estate than telecom.

In my experience these things tend to crop-up with ownership of the building being a lot newer than the telco’s presence.   at $dayjob I’ve seen it personally - "MPOE access denied, you don’t have an agreement with the RMC”  then we produce an agreement (with us) that pre-dates the RMC’s agreement.  We can find the docs, but not every telco has every document from generations ago in some cases.

I’ve found in almost every business, there is a much greater efficiency presumed than realized.   Since I was a child I’ve felt that automation could fix this.

Why would someone ever place critical infrastructure at a site without a solid agreement that prohibits removal, or at least making them whole financially so they don't have to take it out on the next person that comes along? I'd hate to be the poor customer that gets treated as lesser class because a previous owner caused hurt feelings.
