As it fights alongside AT&T in Nashville, Tennessee, to keep Google Fiber from creating municipally sanctioned short cuts on pole attachment, Comcast is quietly trying to ease its own pole attachment issues with the utility company that controls the local poles.
According to local paper the Tennessean, reps for the MSO are in talks with pole owner Nashville Electric Service (NES) on a revised contract that would ease delays on attaching new lines to utility poles.
“Comcast and I have talked and we are looking at modifying the infrastructure use agreement,” said NES CEO Decosta Jenkins said.
