"His point was that if you add another conductor that needs separation from the existing conductors, there needs to be room."

Original comment:
"Adding third party fiber to poles almost always requires the electric company to move up the height of their wires"

His statement was moving electric lines up, not your interpretation.

Neither are close to accurate.

"So, the pole needs to grow or the existing non-electrical conductors need to be reworked on the pole

You're kidding right!!!!

I'm a retiree from the phone company. I was personally involved with "moving" all of the fiber that Fairpoint installed in NH, and most of Vermont; a good deal of Maine as well, to its garages for installation. Not saying I know everything about fiber installation, but not just bloviating either.
