Rate
The CPUC formula is really just a version of the FCC formula. The 7.4% of the annual cost of ownership for the pole comes from Space Occupied divided
by the Usable Space on a pole or 1/13.5 feet. The annual cost of the pole could be defined as the Net Pole Investment divided by number of poles
