Like I said a few posts back, policies are only as useful as their deliberate implementation.

Google's fibre project is an excellent venture into fixing metro and access fibre. However, I am talking about slightly higher-level than that, e.g., sharing of common ducts, using DWDM to share the same fibre, sharing DWDM chassis', sharing common manholes, sharing Metro-E infrastructure, e.t.c. Everybody building their own thing, despite "wanting to do good" is just a duplication of efforts and a waste of limited resources. Mark.
