<< there are actually two conduits that are laid whenever Qwest is laying cable -- and that one of those conduits is empty in order to handle upgrading to next generation technology quickly. >>

half-true. there is a second conduit but it's for expansion, not upgrades. the conduits were designed so that fiber could be added or upgraded without having to redig. it's a very well-designed system: expandability, ease-of-expansion, and ease-of-upgradability were all anticipated and built into the network.
