Well done ElM, you have discovered why capital does not spread out evenly. <wild cat mining is death in Africa. You come. Bring brains, technology and machinery. Once the results start appearing the machetes come out. Either you leave or you die. > They might not use machetes in other countries, such as Brazil, China or NZ, but the outcome is just the same - the Helen Clarksters force handover of the assets. For the greater good of course, such as them having a first class vacation in an exotic resort to rest after their arduous life of telling people what they can and can't do and coming up with new ways to take even more money from those who do useful things. Will they dig up your fibre to see if they can melt it down and sell it like they do copper cables? After cutting it a few times, they might stop when they find no electricity to tap into, no copper, no silver, platinum, gold, oil, gas or other thing of value. Just tsunamis of knowledge flowing past their door. Perhaps they'll charge a toll = $1000 a month for the local chief to protect his section of it from being harmed by farmers accidentally digging it up, or vandals cutting it. Mqurice
