Interesting. I'll pass that name on.  A few years ago the directors of 
our local utility coop OPALCO had the good sense to lay fiber at the 
same time they were laying a new power cable. Over the the cacophony of 
the conservative alarmists. Recently they proposed spending 50 million 
and providing a communications network as well as power. Made sense to 
some of us but the general response was lukewarm at best. Most people 
were looking at the $10 per month infrastructure surcharge. Then the 
CenturyLink cable fiasco hit and a little investment didn't look so 
crazy. OPALCO was able to transfer about 60% of the county's traffic to 
that "waste-of-money" cable. All of a sudden people are thinking ahead 
more than 30 days.
