Aerial building: Fiber to the pole is complicated. It is a six to eight-month process, and with so many variables, there is no way to know the real long-term cost. An ISP with existing copper infrastructure on poles is going to have the easiest time putting up new aerial fiber, but they are still looking at the costly price of personnel, installation, and upkeep.
Leasing existing poles really has an immeasurable cost, because, in theory, you will be paying for the lease for years and years to come.
Not to mention, you are still looking at the cost of personnel, installation, and upkeep.

Once you find that perfect spot, local regulation is going to determine whether or not you can actually build it there. Even municipalities working to install community networks have to consider existing utility infrastructure when putting up new poles. The upside of installing or owning poles is that they can be leased out in the future.
