Re: Too bad

The problem with running FTTH here is the fact that environment makes that cost prohibitive. There is things from blue rock (which is very costly to drill), to native Hawaiian burials which makes FTTH difficult here.

But there is exceptions. Sandwich Isles Communications received 400 million in USDA RUS loans (to be repaid by USF) to build a fiber-optic network to service only DHHL lands. They are already offering high speed DSL service on these homestead lands.

I figured there were obstacles that I just wasn't aware of -- there's a reason why I'm a networking guy, not a suit.

On a side note, I envy you Konaguy; as I mentioned earlier, I'd jump at the opportunity to relocate to Hawaii. Last year was my first visit there, but my father (who has vacationed in Hawaii many times) has been talking about retiring there a lot lately. I come from Naples Florida so I'm no stranger to wealth and scenic beauty, but Hawaii has easily blown away every other place I've been to so far!
