Re: The power utilities need to get real.
What a freekin bummer?!!?!?! I don't understand any of this. In the rich neighborhoods of Dallas, they already have the fiber to up and down all of the streets. And now Oncor buys this network to "monitor the power grid?" So they are saying that they're going to take milions of dollars of already laid fiber and use it to ping homes to see if they have power?!?!!?
The only thing left to do is pull the the fiber from the street into the house!!! Hell, you can charge the customer for that in the installation!
This just desn't make any sense. Why would Oncor buy it and not AT&T or Verizon and run FIOS or UVerse over it? Something is fishy here.
I'm so sad to hear this. That fiber network was the only chance that I see in the future for competition. The telcos will eventually put the cable companies out of business over the next 10 years. Maybe wireless is the future. |
