Sometimes the siting of certain types of equipment is determined by rather precise (althoug, sometime fuzzy) distance stipulations. Could be on poles, in building easements, private property rentals, shared facilities quansut huts with other utilities or PCS/cellular entities, just about anywhere I would assume that developing all this would be a rather complex process and a non-trivial part of why an HFC upgrade takes so long. I doubt they can always simply use the same locations where amplifiers were placed previously. Where I live fiber was installed for TV about 1 year ago. High speed internet access is due in another 6 months (so they say). 1 1/2 years from wires to service. Makes you wonder- Is it really that hard? Eric
