re: Becoming a CLEC in Bell Atlantic Territory - A Detailed Guide

AHhaha, I came across this site in my search for a tutorial. It's probably better than any tutorial that I could find, if you want to go through it and tear the system apart, piece by piece. Under the guise of exploration and discovery, of course. Second thought, I'll keep looking...

re: subsea and other long distance optical amplification advancements

How are these things currently powered?
Something like this? (grin)
fuelcell.kosone.com
probably not ... at 700mW this one would only last 16 years between fuelings ... hoot, hoot.

Are the connection points, amps, etc combined in a pod with a power unit?

What is the typical maintenance cycle for repeaters?
