I have lived in Ohio all my life and I believe I know of most of all of the longhaul fiber that exists between cities. I'm sure there are some networks I don't know about, but there has been a lot of money poured into a few unlicensed wireless links that I have been involved with for a particular governmant agency. This agency, if any, would have access to any governmant fiber and said there wasn't any available.
If anyone would like to disprove me, please do, It would open up a lot more possibilities. Zack On 8/2/07, Felix A.
