Doesn't Sprint stand for Southern Pacific Railroad INTernational?
Sprint was born when Southern Pacific spun off SP Communications, aka SPC, (I believe to GTE). The name was then changed to Sprint. I don't think SPC had any fiber back then - i remember the voice circuits were very noisy. But you're pretty correct, SPC was using railroad right-of-way for communications signalling - originally for SP's internal voice/data network, and then began selling excess capacity. -- Rusty Hodge <rusty () hodge com>, San Francisco
