I think a yearly maintenance fee is the typical arrangement but have also heard of a strand leesee or maybe IRU owner needing to share a portion of the costs for, say, a cable relocation due to road widening. All depends on the agreement in place.
You can also expect to pay their splicer each time you need to access a strand. Sometimes those costs can be reasonable and sometimes they can be ridiculous.
