That makes two of us champ.

There was an ENORMOUS glut of fiber laid in the 90's by all of those internet and telco companies that are now out of business. More than the U.S. could have possibly used. Even now Google is laying more, and there are government initiatives on the table to mandate increased access and speed.

Sounds like there was a sale on tinfoil this week.
