Ted, of course anyone starting from nothing will go with state-of-the-art.

The point is that we already have a complete infrastructure.

Yes, with whole sections that are incompatible with other sections.

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that upgrading existing infrastructure is a lot cheaper than starting from scratch.

I think it does take a rocket scientist. Much easier and cheaper to build from scratch than to try to fix what's in place. We have builders of tract new homes; we don't have firms that rehab tracts of old homes. There are always more problems dealing with existing infrastructure.

This isn't true. Our wires and cables won't even be run in developing countries for phones, internet or television.
