Wiring houses..... external run

So how do I really find out if I'm able to legally run a cable across the street. I bought the house across and right now I had fios on both side. Cancel on my original house while its being gutted.. I have a feeling aerial runs are out of the question.. but how can I find out for sure? Be easier if I gotten the house left or right of me not across. Ideally I just want to pay for 1 internet and split between the two house.

Previously I had wifi at the front window and I can get it from across the street but not at the rear of the house..

Let me just spare the trouble and say "No", there is likely no way that you can affordably have a cable run between your two houses across the street. That stuff is very highly regulated.

You could do Point To Point Wireless perched up on two fully grounded poles from House A to B.

It's also worth noting that this is almost always against a Consumer ISP's Terms of Service. For FIOS:

If you subscribe to a Broadband Service, you may connect multiple computers/devices within a single home to your modem and/or router to access the Service through a single Verizon-issued IP address, and if available through the Service, you may permit guests to access the Internet through your Service’s Wi-Fi capabilities.
 
Its too bad.. they're going to bust the road up to run gas pipes.. too bad I can't sneak in conduit.. its coming from road to drive way and into the garage.. Looks like those point to point wifi is my only chance
