Re: Pond scum subspecies said by silbaco:Other utilities should not be on poles either. It's just an attempt to save money that doesn't really work. If you don't own the poles, then you have to pay to use them. Every time a storm blows in you have to role trucks to fix the downed lines. Their customers have to suffer service outages. They should just do it right the first time and put the cables in the ground.
Are you going to provide the millions in additional capital it would take to do so? |

The cost of putting lines in the ground often times pays for itself in the long run. But companies don't like to think long term. |

Yes, they're rolling out an all fibre network but they're not thinking long term. |

| They are deploying fiber because it would be idiotic to deploy copper. |

The comment was making fun of the other thing he said. |
