"RE: If the government is digging up a city street, why not put a fiber or fiber duct in? Seems a waste of labor not to. "Agreed." Except that nearly _all_ "digging up" I have seen in my 50 years on this planet is _local_, usually confined to trenching for new pipes going transverse to the road. Sometimes adding additional turning lanes, that sort of thing. The mental picture Amy is suggesting, that fairly long stretches of road are being torn up, especially to the depth needed for laying cable under the road, doesn't match the actual type of road repair and repaving going on. What would result with such a requirement is a patchwork of hundreds of small pieces of conduit or duct space in a patchwork of roads various worked on...some not touched for many years. Meanwhile, it is _much_ (repeat _much_) cheaper to decide where cable lines are needed, independent of where roads have been repaired and repaved, and use a standard trencher (saws and hoses) to cut the trench WHERE IT IS NEEDED and WHEN IT IS NEEDED. It is silly to have a requirement that produces a patchwork quilt of cuts and ducts which does not even go where it is needed. --Tim May
