Anytime you talk about "rural" I'm impressed with 7 hours, however -- 
isn't SONET supposed to make this better?


I'm not in Texas, but I am rural - there's plenty of places around here
where it's just not economically feasible to run 2 diverse fiber paths
to a town.  Heck, a lot of these places didn't get their *first* fiber
until fairly recently.

Not a place you'll find a redundant SONET ring. ;)
