LOL on the sound effects site :-) Amusingly I did not find any duck sounds there - I have my laptop set up to "quack" when I get an error! On the "dueling backhoes", is this business of competitors cutting each other's lines really commonplace?? I would tend to think not, certainly I don't think major companies like MFNX would be bothered much by this kind of thing. However, I do think that in the foreseeable future GPS systems could find their way into anything that moves or is portable. Not just backhoes, cars, etc.

Hi Chris, >>nice to see you "rejoin" the board I haven't gone anywhere. Still here. Re the article, methinks the author may have to readjust his 'get serious' faculties. Sure, there are more digups today than ever, and there will be more yet in the future. But that's only a reflection of the shear number of players now, and the time to market pressures they are under.. not to mention that the streets are getting ever more congested, and are being worked for lowest bid contractors, some of whom never performed this kind of work, before. Knocking out another fiber carrier does little to bolster the image of a provider, or the industry at large. Instead, it would lower all ships to new depths. I'm not saying that it's never happened, but it's not systemic anywhere near to the extent that the author would lead one to believe. FAC
