Anyone know much about the history of Telstra down here in Chch? In AU they were forced to share duct space. Is there much ducts sharing here? They rolled out phones everywhere, did the council make sure that others could leverage off that?

nope - not if you're using the 2.4GHz space.
Don't get hung up over the licence. Its just people think its hard to dig up the road and the Lic means a Council can't refuse. I believe you don't need the Lic to dig, its just helps.
In Wn lotsa folk do it. PMs Dept, WCC, VUW, Hospital, MFAT, etc. WCC Road folks now like to enforce a few standards (other than trenching ones) like who will record it and do the mark out etc. We tend to help here, especially if given the right to run a future fiber in the duct.
