[Davisgig] Davisgig Digest, Vol 53, Issue 3

[Douglas A. Walter]

Hi Dave. To summarize (which your digest will do, in a way), the network of overhead wires is more extensive than several people believe, but the costs to access them are likely quite steep. And that - plus resiliency - makes buried conduit more plausible. (Yes, conduit can flood or break in an earthquake, but poles actually have problem in both those scenarios, too. Plus I've experienced a Davis wind storm that broke a pole-based connection. So, buried fiber is more resilient, IMO.)

But I can't resist noting that the areas of Davis with no overhead wires would better be characterized as half-vast.
