Pacific Bell Co. v. City of Livermore CA1/3
The dispute giving rise to this appeal has its origins in an application by Pacific Bell Telephone Co. (Pacific Bell) to install a one-half inch fiber optic cable across three existing utility poles in the City of Livermore (City). The City required Pacific Bell to place the new cable underground or, alternatively, pay a fee equivalent to the estimated cost of placing the cable underground as a condition of installing it on the existing poles. Pacific Bell unsuccessfully sought a writ of mandate to overturn the City’s determination.
