Does anyone here know if telecom wanted to run some lines under some power lines on a pole, would they need to talk to the electricity lines operator and pay a per pole space rental or do they talk to the local city council about getting access? Is there any right-of-way laws that would apply?

Reason I ask is I am thinking of running a cat5 telephone line or something similar to a house down the road from mine and using an ethernet extender over it. Its 8.30pm and still holiday time so i dont think there would be anyone at unison or the council i can ring and ask about it.

Telecom are already sharing the poles and I am guessing they would pay a monthly fee per pole to whoever owns them.
