I don't have the answer, but I wonder if they are considered a utility and operate on utility easements. Then we have to look at the county and state, too.

On the other side, I've read they operate a considerable number of private installations, too. Even that is suspect, too, in that there is existing case law affirming that people have a reasonable expectation of privacy in "the whole of their public movements."

They’re not utility. But you don’t have to be a utility to construct in the right-of-way.

[ibejoeb]

Good point. Then, if the contract lapses, who is responsible for that infrastructure? Does flock have to tear it down?

[kulahan]

Probably some legal question that won’t get answered until there is a strong pressure to do so.

[engineer_22]

No, because they have other customers.
