I remember at Univ. of Tenn. after we refused to pay ransom for So. Bells station cable, they said they would cut all their old station cable flush with the conduit. Also wanted $.50 a duct foot rent on their outside plant conduit( which I dont think they even owned). UT responded that they would charge So. Bell for occupying their duct space after we rewired everything. Strangely, we didnt hear anymore about it after that.
