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?
