My understanding is that telephone, cable, and power providers share the poles. Don&#x27;t the power companies usually own the poles? So if they added internet providers to the list of companies authorized to share the poles, AT&amp;T wouldn&#x27;t have grounds for complaint. Since internet providers (such as AT&amp;T) already share the poles, this seems like a reasonable move.<p>In my neighborhood we had 2 competing cable providers for about a decade, and they managed to share the poles (along with the phone company and the power company) without any problems (or at least, any problems that made the news).
