along with that , and if any want to take a quick trip down memory lane , try lucky post number "13" up from bottom here "How Fiber Barons Plunged Nation Into Telecom Glut" june 27 2001 Subject 51375 All told, about 39 million miles of fiber-optic cable stretch underneath U.S. railroad beds, corn fields, natural-gas lines and roads, enough to circle the earth 1,566 times. Companies racing to build or expand nationwide networks laid some $90 billion of fiber during the past four years. Merrill Lynch & Co. estimates that only 2.6% of the capacity is actually in use. Much of it may remain dark forever. That was a very short and concise article , but I just had no idea how overbuilt they went....only 3% in use and much of it to remain dark forever.<G> simply amazed me when I read that . Quest was $39 the high on that month , but it was all down hill from there for every one of them. PS: note the prices back then , I tried to keep track.
