I somehow doubt that this has been in all the contracts since the  
Bell company started doing business in the 19th century.

As I've said before, I don't think large scale reclaiming is going to  
do all that much for us, but if it would, I can't believe that lack  
of a few signatures would be enough to stiffle the growth of the  
world wide internet that has already become crucial to the economy of  
many countries.

Not sure how it works in the US, but here in Holland if they want to  
build a railway through your property, the government CAN take that  
property away from you under some circumstances.
