Who knows how much OKC stands to lose here? If we charge the $2400 a year, which is the average, then we will lose a lot......


Will be interesting to see if Holt says anything here. Cornett was VERY friendly to big telecom, and as most of us know Holt doesn't
really like a lot of things about Cornett, and sometimes acts in ways to prove it. Hopefully he will continue this trend and speak out
against this measure... this brief excerpt from this piece says it all:

"The Trump administration, which proposed tripling housing costs for low-income renters, is slashing by 90% or more the utility pole rents paid to local governments by Verizon, AT&T and other cell phone providers. The rent cut for these corporations is worth about $3 billion annually, the National League of Cities estimates.
Utility pole rents will be capped at $270 per pole each year by new Federal Communications Commission rules.
Rents per utility pole are typically $2,400 a year, nine times the FCC cap, said Tony Batalla, IT manager for the city of San Leandro, Calif., a city of 89,000 people across the bay from San Francisco. “These are negotiated rates the companies agreed to,” he noted."
