it is surprisingly BAD idea in quite a few climate zones ... as you rightfully mentioned - taken into consideration production costs, repair costs etc. we may be much better with wooden poles in every place that has substantial humidity and temperature shifts :)
That guy isn't a robot .. it is just remotely controlled birdie :) ... well at least it is not more a robot than this one:

In a spirit of our Canadian courtesy I'd like to apologize for not being fast enough to apologize before owl (just in case), and also express my deepest gratitude to both of you handling it really politely :D
hey hey hey ... BEER you say ? Hell I have an idea as well. Your point was - "big" backbone guys could restrict it ... Xist's idea was - "big" backbone guys alone can't free it up, as "small" guys could restrict it as well ... you both were on the same page the whole time. Reality is -...
Anything underground is tremendously more expensive to fix, check etc, than anything above ground ... with electricity it also means hilariously expensive insulation of all kinds that has to be maintained at all length of the cables (as opposed to be given for free (by air) most of the time :)

@Rear_Intruder - I think you don't understand it correctly ... the way I understand it - you will have a chance to get back any ship you've purchased once ( no matter how you did it first time ) ... for LTI ships it will be just a question of waiting for some time, for non-LTI but real money...
I started with some advanced zyxel, but can't hold it for long (it was too expensive equipment), and stuff I continued with was a courier 2400 with nice hardware implementation of mnp4, so I guess I could say "me too"
Whoops .. I believe I was misunderstood. I love to see 1.5 mil DPI mouse of course ... what I was saying is - with pivot movements it is impossible to get high resolution precisely anyway due to accidental foundation movements
While you are absolutely correct, this doesn't disprove the assumption of NN encouraging monopolies to form, and hence I'm still very interested in what exactly Deroth is assuming and why.
@Deroth - sorry for my confusion, but could you please provide one quote in regards of NN that favors big ISPs or doing anything suspicious at all ? Thanks
