Might be an idea and job saver

http://www.siliconrepublic.com/business/item/16801-more-than100-jobs-at-risk/ Would it not be an idea for the government to take this over as a growing concern and possibly reduce the price of the cable for a fibre roll out and in the meantime save possibly 100 jobs in the process??:confused:

Fibre is cheap. Digging is expensive.

Digging is expensive, but will have to be done at some stage, so why not repair the damn water network while we're down there?

Put the fibre on poles.

There is fibe on poles in Edward St Limerick, years since.

It's done elsewhere.
