I'm not in Texas, but I am rural - there's plenty of places around here where it's just not economically feasible to run 2 diverse fiber paths to a town. Heck, a lot of these places didn't get their *first* fiber until fairly recently. http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=grundy,+virgina&ie=UTF8&ll=37.279107,-82.099457&spn=0.414686,0.782776&t=h&z=11&om=1 Not a place you'll find a redundant SONET ring. ;) Attachment:
