A Cisco ZX GBIC produces a max of 4.77 dBm (or less than 4mw). 4mw
corresponds to 35 watt hours in one year.
.035 kwh per year costs 34.5 cents per year using
the average US electricity cost in March 2006 of
9.86 cents/kwh.
Since the energy flow could be bidirectional,

According to http://www.april-fools.us/history-april-fools.htm, the
Indian equivalent of April fools day is the Huli festival on March 31.

Their reasoning is certainly barmy, but some dark-fibre customers in the
UK get charged business property taxes on the fibre.

Sadly, I dont think taxmen ever had a sense of humor
Sounds reasonable to me. Since the sale of energy is
usually measured in kilowatt-hours, how many kwh of
energy is transmitted across the average optical fibre
before it reaches the powereda mplifier in the destination
switch/router?
Also, remember, it's _net_ energy
But they clearly have too much time on their hands. Whodathunkit?

Well there's of course back taxes charged for a period of ~ 3 years or
more, plus interest and late payment penalties on those back taxes

A rather humorous article from a rhetorical perspective.
The reporter emphasizes the innocence of generating light
while ignoring its commercial aspects. Those light pulses
are very valuable to recipients. This tax seems to parallel
