How do you know it isn't realistic? Have you talked to your law firm about it? Is taxpayer subsidized property actually private? It's certainly worth finding out so your answer can start with something more definitive than "I'd think that..."
AT&T is already forced to allow you access to their POTS infrastructure so you can sell DSL. Do you really think it's that big of a stretch that the PUC might compel them to broaden the scope of that access to include AT&T conduit?
I could work from home if I had gig fiber — can't do it with DSL, as the upload speeds are too slow. The type of work I do requires very high bandwidth.
I think you owe it to your customers to find out for sure.
By the way, I do appreciate you coming onto the forums and have a back-and-forth with your customers. It's because of stuff like this that I've stayed with you guys so long.
