What I want to see is power companies to use there infrastructure to run fiber. They have the right of way to bury or string on polls fiber, why not deploy a real solution along side there power lines? I understand it would be very expensive, but the long term benefits would be great. That is my silly little dream anyway.
Huh? That would make far too much sense. You can't expect that to ever happen in the real world. Better to have pie-in-the-sky fantasy technology, to woo investors with, rather than a ho-hum plan with a solid technological foundation. Execs live in the upper part of the power / money stratosphere - the rarified air up there deprives them of oxygen you see, that's why they make the sorts of decisions that they do.
