Does this person know what they are doing by cutting those cables?
• They have cut off communications to hundreds of people, some who may depend on the phone for medical reasons & have left them with no way to call for help in case of emergency (911)
• Looking at the map, these seem to be rural/semi rural towns, where the town hall may serve as the police station & fire department (and other emergency services). Now they're without communications!
• And last, but maybe the most important, what if these lines served a medical facility? Now the doctors there can't communicate with others if something comes up that they don't have any information about. And what is they're set up on one of the medical networks? That just went bye-bye
As for fixing the problem, I had to splice a 25 pair cable once - it took me quite a while. Relatively speaking, fixing the fiber would be a snap
Whoever this person may be (disgruntled employee, competitor or whomever), they need to be prosecuted, put away & receive some serious psych help.
This is probably in a area where the sound of a chainsaw might not be uncommon, so they might have gone unnoticed.
And for all of you who think that this is so funny, just think how you would feel if you lost all land line communication & was sick - you have to see the consequences.
I'll admit, though  , when I first read it, I though that 'Verizon is screwing people, now someone is fighting back'. |
