Robert,

I think we all agree that the government needs to get on top of this stuff and that groups doing the digging should pay appropriately for the permits and oversight.  I still think that the federal government doesn't really have the focus on local roads needed to affect change the way that the local governments do ... and now with a devolved constitution, local governments actually have the power to affect change here.

While it would be great for anybody to do anything, it would be ideal to start getting the county governments involved in this stuff - keeping in mind the primacy clause which should still allow the federal government to compel county governments to give right of way for communications lines in the case of reluctant local bureaucrats.
