  There is interest in the deployment of cable and other networking
infrastructure for private use in public land, but the lack of clear guidelines
to regulate deployment in public land can block authorization decisions, which
can be controversial due to the consequences of the private ownership and use
of a private infrastructure in public space. The guifi.net Foundation proposed
a universal deployment model for municipalities, where new deployments by a
private requester are allowed as long it provides paths that simultaneously
allow for three uses: self-service for the city council, private for the
requester, and shared or common use for everyone else. The principle can be
extended to apply to any other regional or even international infrastructure
deployed in non-private land, although the proportion of resources for each
uses can be adjusted. The effect of this model is that the deployment of
private infrastructures generate a direct return as infrastructure for shared
use by everyone can contribute to deliver universal connectivity.
