johnny boy, << copper >>

Putting aside the technical debates let me give you another
perspective. Last week I had to drive to Dallas and back to Colorado
on family business. It was hard to NOT notice the antiquated, delapidated (spelling) phone lines along the highways. Here in Colorado we are on US WEST phone system. Us mountain folks continually
have line problems that receive only patch work. When confronting
USWEST, they have no problem revealing that they have no intention
of installing badly weathered lines from the problems with our
elements that are much harsher than in Dallas and other areas of
moderate temperatures. I take this as clue#1.
Fiber optics cable is being aggressively pursued in urban areas.
Qwst is contracted to run fiber along railways across the nation.
Clues 2 & 3. I'm sure Engibeous and crew are aware and must consider
this networking solution. If not, he needs to spend less time on his
boat and more on the highways!
