And *seem* to keep maps. We have a very comprehensive map of the ducting that is laid. And another layer that covers fibre which extends into buildings, which is a very impressive system. You can look at a building like Telehouse and find the fibre paths very quickly. It can plot routes based upon specified optical power budgets and redundancy requirements, and generate a works list for joins etc if a new ring is being built. Regards, Neil. -- Neil J.
