I'll throw in my $.02
Obviously the utility poles are owned by the different utility companies:
phone, cable, electric... I worked on a project where we ran fiber around a
city connecting 20+ buildings for a school district... I had to map a path
and research pole ownership then prepare a lease agreement for pole access.
It's a convoluted and tedious process (because they dont always know who's
poles whos).

But can we use the existing utility poles without approval? Or install our
own support structures?

Fiber is considered low voltage wiring, which in most parts of the
country is unregulated. As long as you stay at least 2-3 feet from
existing power wiring, and a support cable to help the fiber cable
from stretching and contracting during hot and cold temps. It is
very similar to running cable TV. No approval needed.Â
