[AusNOG] Fibre run between Buildings

[Mike Everest]

My understanding (as a licensed carrier ;)

Carrier license is not required to operate a data link (of any kind) between
two places occupied by the same organisation (or person) when it is used
solely for the carriage of private and internal data.

When a physical cable crosses property owned by some third party, however,
permission from that third party *is* required.

Those third parties may be local government authority for permission to dig
a trench or  string an overhead cable, in which case a planning permit or
building permit may be involved, or third party could be owner of a building
that separates the two connected locations, in which case some form of
commercial contract or rental agreement might be in order.

Nonetheless, carrier license is only required when any part that data link
(be it fibre, copper, wireless, fso or perhaps carrier pigeon ;) is used to
carry data for organisations or entities not directly related to the
operator of that infrastructure.

Cheers!

Mike.
