Frank- I appreciate your posts. Regarding the bandwidth glut, what companies do you see "leading the lighting" of the dark fiber? Caxton

Thanks a bunch Frank, I trust everyone likes that post:-) I intend to read the provided links later. You said "...but by now I'm rather sure that the paranoia which has been created by this thread has caused all of them to swear themselves to secrecy." ...and I LOL. I don't know if I'm stretching too much here, but simply stated, I think it's surely not the grade of fiber alone that spurs George to pick NOPT, it's also the executive decision to use it to sell lambdas, thus effectively helping greatly to flood the market with bandwidth and possibilities. Neon, you see then, would be able to provide much space as needed. Starting in a key area of the country and planning to expand, if there comes a use for the capacity, Neon, I presume, can provide. Provide, with a use of the technology, a deployment, and a business plan Neon is first to execute. Then again, that's just what I surmised from his thoughts in the GTR. If I've got it half right, would that help them qualify in your mind? George certainly shows he isn't afraid to pick a tiny company, as he put it upfront. Dan B
