It was an easy decision. Kansas City is an electric city, so they own the poles. So no costly and long dragged out pole surveys, no make ready and no pole attachment fees, and the ability to take fiber anywhere in the electric service area at very low cost.
I'm sure that Kansas City also offered to hang all the fiber using their electric utility crews and buckets trucks.
No mystery here....it's a smart choice.
