Become a CLEC. Or, more appropriately, I suppose: look into the benefits that being a CLEC would give you (in this regard) and consider if that's worth it for you.

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?
