Sven,
It seems that we have something in common. The questions you need to answer
can be answered within MapInfo. However, I use an additional program for
the collection of data and defining the availability of dark fiber.
I recommend a program called OSP InSight from Advance Fiber
www.advancefiber.com . This program makes the data searches quite easy in
terms of knowing what fibers have been assigned to a particular customer
and/or service provider. This program uses MapInfo quite extensively to
help with the topology, as you need.
I hope this helps you.
