Re: Hawaiian ILEC infrastructure and fire

[Eric Kuhnke <eric.kuhnke () gmail com>]

It's my understanding that the Hawaiian ILEC is now owned by Cincinnati
Bell, which is also a unique historical artifact, as it was its own
independent corporation/operating entity in the region of Cincinnati during
the era of the pre-1984 Bell system.

Somewhat like how GTE was independent in other places in the country.

Some of the Hawaii ILEC structures I have seen photos of in other
non-fire-affected places and other islands have a resemblance to designs
that were built by BCTel, the ILEC in British Columbia, at the time when
GTE was a shareholder in BCTel.
