You don't have to be a CLEC to access right of way, including ducts and poles. It's enough to be a BIAS (Broadband Interner Access Provider), which you already are.

Becoming a CLEC does classify you as a "utility" though, which has other benefits.

Which benefits do you need that a CLEC has but a BIAS does not?
