Is this a 7 hour outage a comment on rural Central Texas availability of fiber splicers or novel ways fiber gets cut?

Anytime you talk about "rural" I'm impressed with 7 hours, however -- isn't SONET supposed to make this better?

Sure, if:
1. the protect path is configured and enabled
2. both the working and protect paths don't run through the same conduit/duct/buffer
