Wow. They must not have any fiber near our facility. The folks running the digging operations are keeping Plastikote in business selling orange paint. There seems to be more orange than black on the blacktop -- all of it marked pretty clearly with the carrier name. Is this "very large telco" experiencing more than their fair share of cut related outages as result of their competition paranoia? More interestingly, if they refuse to disclose the location of their fiber, does this offer any relief from damages that may be incurred by the poor schmoe who puts a large steal bucket right through 192 strands of their fiber because there wasn't a nice orange line on the ground where he shouldn't dig? --- John Fraizer EnterZone, Inc
