(AUSTIN) Telephone service was out for seven hours in rural Central
Texas after bees attacked a construction worker, causing him to jump off
his tractor and hit a lever that lowered an auger that sliced a
fiber-optic line.
Is this a 7 hour outage a comment on rural Central Texas availability of
fiber splicers or novel ways fiber gets cut?
Anytime you talk about "rural" I'm impressed with 7 hours, however --
isn't SONET supposed to make this better?
