Unnamed Administration sources reported that Sean Donelan said: > I don't know who Qwest is hiring to bury its fiber, but I would like > to call on Qwest to conduct an immediate stand-down until it can review > its fiber installation practices, training and supervision with its > contractors. Including review of safe digging/drilling practices around > other providers' fiber. The fact is, it is likely a dozen low-bid contractors. Or one contractor & a dozen subs. THAT likely is the issue. Further, if you read the Underground mag I mentioned in weeks past; it appears the rod-poking folks seem to be nailing EVERYONE: sewers, gas lines, water, you name it. But yes, Qwest should read 'em the riot act. It is far cheaper to avoid that 200*OC-192 bundle than fix it. -- A host is a host from coast to [email protected] & no one will talk to a host that's close........[v].(301) 56-LINUX Unless the host (that isn't close).........................pob 1433 is busy, hung or dead....................................20915-1433
