There's more than just the cost of fiber -- there's also the cost of locating and taxes. Any maintenance if there's cuts and the costs if you need to move the fiber for a project. I've been many times where you were, frustrated that I didn't know the dark fiber options for a potential opportunity

It's easy to ridicule the outliers, but the reality is that without USF the majority of rural America that has Internet connectivity today wouldn't be online. Yes, the price-cap carriers didn't do much in rural America, but that's because there was little economic incentive to do so. Rate-of-retu

Reports from around the country are that traceroutes through sbcglobal (in Austin, Houston and NJ) are failing with timeout to havanatimes.org -- yet when we go in through TOR or Comcast or using overseas services, their routing is just fine. What gives?

Right, but a better approach would have been for the FCC to say "If you don't build fiber, you won't keep getting USF money." The FCC failed to look at the public interest and got rolled by the RBOCs again. Owen On Mar 24, 2012, at 11:41 AM, Frank Bulk wrote: > Around the 2004 timeframe the RBO

Around the 2004 timeframe the RBOCs were having a discussion with the FCC, basically saying that if the FCC did not apply unbundling to their fiber builds they would build fiber, and that if the FCC did apply unbundling rules they would not. The FCC wanted fiber deployed, so they withheld applying
