Good article on SFGATE that appeared on the current set of fiber cuts  
on the Peninsula and what they're doign to investigate.  Pretty good  
article for a general interest paper.  For IP if you like.

"Authorities hope a quarter-million-dollar reward will shake loose a  
tipster to lead them to the vandals who severed underground fiber- 
optic cables, cutting off phone service for tens of thousands of  
people and disrupting life throughout southern Santa Clara, Santa Cruz  
and San Benito counties.

Investigators said Friday they are tracking down at least 10 leads and  
reviewing traffic-camera footage taken near one of four sites where  
the cables were cut Thursday in hopes of a breakthrough.
