  • Abstract:
    Fiber-optic cable is recognized as one of the most efficient and reliable mediums of telecommunication available today. The last decade has witnessed an enormous growth in this form of telecommunication. However, one of its major disadvantages is that it requires right-of-way in which to locate the cable. The Interstate Highway system’s right-of-way represents an attractive network of corridors in which fiber-optic can, potentially, be located.

    This study investigates the possibility of permitting fiber-optic cable to be placed in Interstate right-of-way in Louisiana. The study serves as a precursor to a possible Request for Proposals to install fiber-optic cable in Interstate right-of-way in the state.

    In executing the study, we first reviewed existing conditions and regulations governing the placing of utilities in Interstate right-of-way in Louisiana. This was paralleled by a survey among all State Departments of Transportation and among telecommunications companies with ties in Louisiana regarding their opinions of permitting fiber-optic cable in Interstate highway right-of-way in the state. The information from the review of existing conditions and the survey were analyzed and evaluated to generate a recommended policy for the state.
