B. PRINCIPLES Agreements among the Participating Agencies for sharing of Fiber Optic Projects shall conform to the following principles: Participation in Fiber Optic Projects is voluntary and can depend on specific cable routes. 2. Arrangements for cooperation should be fair and equitable among Participating Agencies. As a general principle, agreements among Participating Agencies, where each have a share of project control, should share costs proportionately based on each share of the fiber .strands deployed. Any special configuration, such as a routing change to accommodate a particular entity, should be paid for in whole by such entity. If a Facility Owner requires a route change due to Facility access, the costs of such a change shall be considered general project costs and not the, sole responsibility of the Facility Owner as a Participating Agency.
