Here’s a great example. Just happened: It’s 3:30pm eastern.
The backbones between Allegheny Center Mall and Slippery Rock University are currently unavailable. Crown Castle Engineers have determined that the reason for outage is fiber damage. Repair work is underway. The estimated time of total recovery is 8:00 PM EST. Restoration of 8pm. That’s five hours or more (this doesn’t take into consideration time to get there and diagnose. Just the splice work). > On Feb 25, 2019, at 2:27 PM, dave <dmilho...@wletc.com> wrote: > > We just need a GIANT Satellite in space that will emit static discharge with > infrared as a primary blanket of coverage using a laser beam to feed it. > > All looks good on paper :) > > > >> On 2/25/19 11:06 AM, ch...@wbmfg.com wrote: >> With 100% underground construction, fire doesn't bother it much.
