    wellington Regional council is going to leave the city link inter web wires up, after the trolley bus wires get sent away to smelter.

    The internet cables aren't owned by the council, for one thing. And for another, they're mostly fibre optic which really doesn't smelt so well.

    imagine a fibre-optic / mozzarella hybrid,
    at least there'd be an upside
    when your data was toast...

    So who owns the trolly bus structures those cables are hanging off of?

    Probably whatever became of the local energy authority when councils were forced to divest themselves of such things.
    The internet cables were originally owned by the council, but CityLink got spun out into a private company.

    The trolley cables are owned by Wellington Cable Car Ltd, which is owned by the city council.
