There was always a need for copper cables between the pillar and the adjacent node cabinet - with roughly 200 premises served by a pillar, thats roughly 400 pairs+extra required, and if the cabinet is anything up to 100 metres away (and occasionally up to 300m apparently) thats roughly half a kilometre of 100-pair cable required to hook up a single node cabinet.
as I said on another list just now, next journos will be making a mountain out of the hectares of sheet steel required to build the ~60,000 cabinets. Paul. _______________________________________________ Link mailing list Link@mailman.anu.edu.au http://mailman.anu.edu.au/mailman/listinfo/link
