and that home could choose to ride over these brand new lines at that time
Yup. Meant that.

if you also mean by the foregoing that home could use these optical pipes to enter into new markets

Yup. Meant that too.

you were merely poking fun at the opportunity for home to become a service bureau for incompetent utility outfits

I wouldn't call it "poking fun"- but @home actually is in many ways nothing more than a "service bureau" for the incompetent. Nothing wrong with that. People hire @home to do something they don't know how to do themselves, they don't have the economies of scale to do themselves, or maybe that they simply don't have enough of a reputation in the public.

I know I would not feel very cozy about buying fiber internet from my local power company. I'd like to know that there were some experts running the show.

Just had an off the wall thought. What would you think of a buyout of ATHM by Qwest?
