IRU of Service Entrance in a Multi-Tenant Commercial Building

Friday, August 04, 2006

First, a bit of background. In telecommunications an Indefeasible Right of Use (IRU) was originally the effective long-term lease (temporary ownership) of a portion of the capacity of an international cable. At least in my company, we use IRU to refer to long term lease of data capacity on fiber placed for us by others.

We currently have a situation where we want to put fiber into a multi-tenant commercial building, currently in the final phases of construction. There are four 4-inch conduits running from the building's service entrance to a phone company vault. Two of the conduits are empty.
