jd...first of all, i think you could tell them you're going to charge them rent for having their underground plant on your property. in indiana, where i worked for the phone company, we were restricted to utility right of ways for both aerial and underground plant.

second, that cable you hit while grading should have been deeper. there are depth requirements for buried cable. but on public right of ways like roads, you are required to request locates before doing any kind of excavation,,,altho i don't believe grading a roadway should be considered excavating unless you were lowering the existing grade.

third, just because you haven't heard from them doesn't mean they've forgotten about you. part of everyone's phone bill, (used to anyway), pays for a legal department within' the company. those guys have to justify their jobs, so watch out. you might want to get the jump on them with your insurance guy and get ahold of a copy of their guidelines (buried depths etc.) they have to go by, and cover your butt. you can bet THEY are studying on it.
