More than 1 is plural, making it poles, not pole. Correct in the article, not in the headline. Kat01:01 AM

good observation, BUT in New London, some of the older poles only handle 2 telephones... so the headline is actually correct, they mentioned the one pole for the two telephones... and they mentioned the sign.. they just did not include the other pole, and how many telephones were connected to that pole...maybe you just forgot that????lol10:04 AM
