There some places that use power line distribution, but there's a severe
interference problem with licenced radio spectrum users.

I've heard rumors about a new fiber optic cable that is installed in the
asphalt, similar to the sensors for stop lights. Cut a grove in the
asphalt, lay in the fiber, re-fill the asphalt. But I've never seen it,
or looked it up, so you're on your own there.

Given some of the roads around here, I'd be worried about fibre breaks.
Incidentally, a company I used to work for, ran fibre along side railroad
tracks. It worked fine, except for one day, when a large sink hole
appeared under one side of the track, and took out the fibre. Then there's
always "backhoe fade". ;-)

I think I've seen pictures of that. Did the Lightbrigade company show
up at that break?
Yeah, I'd have issues with the road conditions as well. I would think
it would have to be in highly urban areas as those roads seem to get the
most attention.

Hi alodoiska,
here in Fiji Islands, we have 2 companys [i.e Telecom] which both uses
fiber optic. one has an advantage, they have underground pipes telecom
chambers and all but the other dont but they have electrical post. so what
the latter company did is that they run their cables from electrical post
to post and they have now more advantage than the former compnay
[underground].
this is only a suggestion.

thank you
