TFA isn&#x27;t clear about this, but I suspect that all of the poles in question are actually <i>owned</i> by LG&amp;E who operate the electrical lines that hang from them. So &quot;...its utility poles&quot; in the title should actually be &quot;...the same utility poles it uses&quot;. There probably is some dumb FCC rule that supports ATT&#x27;s position here, because after all those rules are written by ATT. One hopes that courts would decide FCC don&#x27;t govern how LG&amp;E&#x27;s poles are used. If any agency would, surely it would be DoE?
