mandated by Congress pursuant to Section 224 of the Communications
Act of 1934. The provisions in Section 224 were initially
applicable to cable television system operators. Section 703 of the
Telecommunciations Act of 1996 amended Section 224 and expanded the
scope of the pole attachment provisions to include
telecommuncations carriers as well as cable television system
operators.
