In Episode 75 of Clint Schumacher’s Eminent Domain Podcast, Casey Pipes stops by to discuss the legislated expansion of existing utility easements to allow access by private broadband companies to install data cables.
Clint and Casey, managing partner of Helmsing Leach in Mobile, Alabama, discuss why these laws were passed and the constitutional issues they raise, including the current and potential repercussions for property owners. Among the interesting subtopics covered are how these issues specifically affect railroads and what such statutes could mean for other companies planning on expanding broadband services.
