Red tape from someone who has participated in fiber projects: hire contractor, contractor designs engineering documents for fiber run... Which utility poles will be attached to, where on the pole, what changes would be required for your attachment to be possible. If more than one company owns utility poles... Hope they all use njuns. Then similar documents for underground construction. Where you hand holes will be, size, depth, material of conduit or ducting. This gets submitted to the municipalities. The recipients of your applications will then throw your application in the recycle bin... Leave it there for a few months, dig it back out and assign it to an engineer. The engineer then throws it in their recycle bin for a few months. The engineer will then walk the entire route and make decisions about whether or not your application is acceptable and what other changes may be needed to allow your attachment. You'll then spend the next year waiting for the other companies attached to the poles to fix their violations so your work can begin. After the year is over, you'll realize charter has no intentions of fixing their violations you are stuck paying to fix their violations for them... Then you'll get to complete your own project... Except it's now November and new construction isn't allowed from November to April.

Edit:. Wow! Gold? Thanks! Who knew fiber project shenanigans would be so popular?
