Note to self: Fiber is worthless, or at least if you loan someone $12.4 Billion to lay fiber, don't expect to get paid back any more than $300 million.

Idiots. 90% of all fiber capacity isn't even being used.

Try going into a neighborhood that has 90% of its homes unoccupied and tell me how much demand there will be for housing...

Can you explain what you're saying here. I don't understand the discussion. (I am concerned with giving anything high tech to Red China, but that doesn't seem to impact what you say here.)

What do you mean when you talk about the worthlessness of Fiber? Thanks for any reply.

I come up with the 100,000 miles costing 50 cents a foot for the installed high bandwidth network ocean cables.

Dirt cheap.
