When we first started running fiber we tried this, mainly because our county was being difficult to work with on ROW access. It only took about 8 houses before we ran into "nope, some lawyer once told me never sign an easement ever".
We did have a fairly simple 2 page easement drawn up and can fill in the property owners info and they just have to take and get it motorized to make it recordable. Currently we only use these easements when necessary, like for a private road that wasnt platted with a public utility easement. It's much more convenient to be able to use the ROW without having to make contact with each property owner and then convince them to grant an easement.
