Re: Greed.
said by SamsungSucks  :said by maartena :In Japan for instance, (and most of Europe) cables are placed into the ground, whereas in most of the US the cables are placed on poles Wrong. In japan, most of the cables are placed on poles, not underground. I will give you that. I have lived in Europe for 28 years though, have been to MANY big European cities including London, Paris, Amsterdam, Brussels, Frankfurt, Munich, Edinburgh, Bordeaux, Bern, Geneve, Milan, and god knows how many more other cities, and they only place I have seen cables on poles was in the Scottish northern highlands.
If European Cities can do it, so can American cities. But since greed is also responsible for the Los Angeles Metro to stop THREE MILES BEFORE the Airport, I would not be surprised if big telecom companies would keep cities from deploying. God knows they are trying in small communities, I betcha corporate HELL would break loose if the city of Chicago would announce a city wide fiber network funded by the city.
