They should be calling JULIE. If not, it's their ass on the line.

I assume that would get costly. Im probably wrong here, but I dont like poles of the wood kind, our drunks in our rural areas are masters at taking out more than one per DUI, we have champion drunks here. And I dee them snapped alot in the winter time. I wouldnt consider anything direct buried. Would you put handholes in at intersections where you would be making a turn? Do farmers do JULIE (thats our locating program in this area) before they tile? I assume not since they take ROW to farm, a little each year (we had a project go through a couple years ago where a farmer has a few miles of corn about 10 feet wide dug out for being in the ROW, I loved it, cheating tax subsidized prick) On average, for plowed or trenched duct, permitting costs aside, what is the cost per mile to run fiber (duct and fiber I assume are the only infrastructure costs exclusing the treminations and hardware on each end) On Tue, Jun 30, 2015 at 12:30 PM, Sterling Jacobson < sterl...@avative.net > wrote: How do Comcast and Centurylink get that privilege then?

Say hi to your thumb for me. Aerial is cheaper if you have pole attachment rights. You don't need pole attachment rights (or any special rights) to bury in a ROW, but you can point at it when some guvmint goon questions you. It looks kind of official.

I know there are 36 bazillion answers, but humor me. Details like how often you need handholes and how to deal with slacking for cut fiber splicing would be very helpful. What is a rule of thumb in your long term planning on how often you can expect a fiber cut. (an example of rule of thumb is I expect a storm related issue at least once every three years at every site, there is no actual science, or math, I just look at my thumb and it provides me sage answers) -- If you only see yourself as part of the team but you don't see your team as part of yourself you have already failed as part of the team. </blockquote> -- If you only see yourself as part of the team but you don't see your team as part of yourself you have already failed as part of the team.
