Re: Muni Fiber and Politics

Mikael,

Fiber length is least representative measure of work as it relates to
putting fiber in the ground.  Now, its impressive that they did anything
but if a professional crew took more than a couple of months to do this
they'd be out of a job.  I

'd be much more impressed by a lower distance covered but more homes and
businesses connected or the cabling being ready for connection (ie homes
passed).
