Re: Why can they bury them?

ATT in Michigan has several first generation RTs that are underground with very good access from ground level. 2nd generation units are all above ground in brick buildings/huts while the newest units are housed in above ground cabinets.

FIOS, IPTV and cable broadband are completely different technologies with different infrastructure- you can't compare them.

Yes, it would be possible to put RT's underground, and yes it would be more expensive... but more importantly it's not terribly practical, especially considering the drawbacks (access to the RT, flooding, snow, etc) and that the only benefit is aesthetics.

Seriously, I doubt it even would occur to the telcos to put them underground. The company I work for has over 10,000 RTs and I've not once even heard the possibility of them being installed underground even mentioned, much less considered.
