> $20 per pole per year
So low? That's approximately 0% of what the ISP makes from the homes served by that pole. I figured it would be more.

So the cost for the pole rental works out to about 5% of Comcast's service cost to me.
Keep in mind some poles cost more than others (up to $250 according to the report), and that there are also hookup costs for the pole are ~$1000.
I'm not saying ISPs are suffering here, but cities are not providing this infrastructure at a loss.
Hah. We live in veeeeery different housing densities I guess. I was thinking this was NYC, which would be closer to mine. If it's the whole state then probably somewhere in between.
