Nirvana | Re: Not really This idea gets some press every 6 months or so. The vendors quickly realize its MUCH easier to forge your own conduit -- than to attempt fiber breakouts every 75 to 100 feet from an existing, active sewer or gas line (works OK for longer point-to-point runs though)

Mountains | Considering I know a lot of ppl in the area, and that I watch the local news every once in a while, I can tell you the whole article is a load of crap.
There has been 3 incidents (Tarterets, Mureaux, and a 3rd cité I forgot the name of) documented in the past 2 months, and nowhere near the 14 officers injured daily by stoning or molotov cocktails.
And aside from that, as others said, your post has nothing to do on broadband reports.

Most articles here are about broadband. Next article about broadband in the US please feel free to point out that verizon should really be spending their time ending the war in iraq or eliminating poverty before deploying fiber  | |

| Re: Toilet With Internet service being consistently provided in France's sewers, they're definitely going to realize the tubes analogy that's been so popular here in the states.
As if there already wasn't enough crap on the Internet, France's Internet is going to be drowning in it.

Husband: I thought it would make it faster. | |

| | as always As always everything French do is full of sh... . I agree with one of the previous posters. Their "freedom " lead to internal unrest where minority is telling natives to get out and follow their rules. In civilized world, freedom should exists, but there are should be some limitations.
now can someone explain to me are French really overworked population if store is open 10am-12pm, closes until 4 pm, reopens and then closes again 6 pm. And even if you are in store, they will not help you? | |

| | It's just one more thing Unlike many other cities, especially in North America, the core of Paris has a very extensive sewer system built as interconnected tunnels that run below just about every street. You can walk along those tunnels on a raised sidewalk, without stepping in the flow of sewage unless you need to get into a branch that goes to a building. The sewer tunnels have been used to install all kinds of utilities that were not initially part of the plan, such as steam, gas, electricity, "pneumatic" tubes to shoot letters across town, telephone and now fiber, all out of sight. Contrast that with American cities, especially in the West or outside the core city center, where each utility digs a separate trench then fills it up, starting an endless cycle of expensive digging and resurfacing. To save money, wherever possible lines are tacked onto the face of buildings or strung on poles rather than buried... | |

| | | Re: It's just one more thing ""pneumatic" tubes to shoot letters across town,"
Heh I don't know why but that sounds so cool. | |
|
| | | | Re: It's just one more thing I don't know whether that pneumatic network is still working in Paris (it used to work between all the post offices, where you would go to send a "pneu" across town), but the same technology is still very much in use elsewhere because it is simple and effective. For example, in those tubes you see going up from cashiers' stations at Costco, which are used to shoot paperwork to and from the office. | |

In NYC we do have subway tunnels and utility corridors big enough to walk in (atleast for electric) or drive a car. Telecom is a mangled joke, gas, I dont think you want to be walking inside a gas pipe, but they are direct buried, and the sewers have some walking ability but not everywhere. Not a professional opinion. | |
