        True...now that I stop and think about it, it's amazing how
        well things are rerouting around the problem areas.

        OTOH, I think it'd be a really cool (if expensive) idea for
        somebody to start a telco which would run its own fiber that
        is /never/ (or very rarely) right next to anybody else's.
        This could be so hard as to be near unfeasable, but I can see
        a pretty big market for such lines among NSP's.
