Like you, I also wonder about that bizarre earth curvature compensation comment. Build each towers straight up (from the center of the earth, i.e., normal building), measure the distance between them, hang the cable. Where's the compensation? Do they really mean that if they measured between the bottoms, that it wouldn't have worked because their cable would be 2 inches too short?
