2 edits | Hang? What is this the 1930s? Wouldn't it better to future proof it by burying it? I mean this is part of tornado alley? These guys just love to spend money.  |

| KC is not in tornado alley, that's 100 miles away in Central KS. Last major tornado that hit was in the 1950s. Last before that was 1880s. |

You have less to worry about Tornadoes, and more to worry about ice storms. And by them going above ground they are going to be saving money. |

Over the life of the fiber, chances are it would be cheaper to bury it once you factor in trees falling, poles having to be replaced, ice storms, etc. But they are trying to get the network up and running in the cheapest way possible, which means keeping it above ground. |
