| 492768 | 2006-10-20 10:10:00 | Now this is just an observation but I have been seeing (a lot more) earthwork for fibre (spraypainted locations etc.) in various parts of Christchurch. Hmmm | jermsie (6820) | ||

Hmmm Same here in Auckland on the Shore. I know Telstra Clear is running a lot of cables around their building, and there appears to be an awful lot of orange pipe going below ground with the new bus way. Something is a brewing. |

| 492773 | 2006-10-24 03:41:00 | Um, orange is power. Telstras lines were in purple, but are now in an unappealing teal that is/was inherited from clear communications limited, and is possibly more practical as it might be seen before the digger goes through it.... I think you'll find that most telcos try to dig up at the same time as power comps where possible, and much of the problem is that people get upset with open trenches, so they have to seal the road up again even if they know a power comp is coming through a month later. All will be solved if we just shot all the people :D |
