Hi Andy,
It is a risk - I have seen the cables being pulled from buildings which
are to be demolished.
In the 1980s, the catchcry was to future proof buildings with optic
fibre. I wonder how much of fibre pulled out of buildings has never been
used.
The question is whether you run a fibre optic along a
sewer/electricity/water/gas duct or pole, just in case, or pull this
through later (as is being done with the NBN).
My front garden has an electricity wire running over it, telstra copper
line on the eastern side and water across the front and up the western
side and gas on the western side!
Storm water on either side and Sewerage on the Western side. I will
grant that much of this dates back to the late 19th century - so, I am
not even sure Dial before you Dig will work!

David, you've mentioned this "anticipated service life" a few times now.
None of us can see into the future, but what would replace something
that can go at the (constant) speed of light? The life of a fibre cable
is vastly longer than a century. They will probably only have to replace
broken/crushed cables.
