	True...now that I stop and think about it, it's amazing how
	well things are rerouting around the problem areas.

	OTOH, I think it'd be a really cool (if expensive) idea for
	somebody to start a telco which would run its own fiber that
	is /never/ (or very rarely) right next to anybody else's.
	This could be so hard as to be near unfeasable, but I can see
	a pretty big market for such lines among NSP's.
