Yes, they are using the new kind with the holes.
It is primarily a legal/cost issue. Power companies have the right-of-ways to install the cable (and the labor force).
I guess you missed the " ;-) ". Many utilities are getting involved in this. A few years ago, one company started up with the idea of using sewers. They'd clean and repair the sewers for the municipality and then run fibre down them.
But those were really shitty fibers. The new ones with holes are better. -- Tony Alfrey tonyalfrey@earthlink.net "I'd Rather Be Sailing" -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
