Re: What Milestone?
I guess if you are not involved in the fiber industry this would not be a milestone. So do you post that you don't care about Gary Indiana fixing streets? Or how about tsunamis Indonesia? Oh, how about posting on boards for pregnancy that you think that's stupid too.
Fact is a lot of people who are involved in the fiber industry do care about big systems starting. Switchman got it partially right. In addition to the engineering that needs to be done, Lafayette spent years fighting for the right even to build this system. (See other news about the Supreme Court decision). Some other systems never even got a chance because they lost on this step. (See Geneva, Batavia, and St. Charles in IL)
I am encouraged by this type of news, not because i will directly benefit, but by the ramifications it has for the fiber industry. It will help ensure that more systems jump on the bandwagon and keep me working in years to come. |
