They just broke ground on a new neighborhood in my area of STL. They're putting in Coax cable and cat4 (telephone) lines.
Why in the world would you do something like that: Install a brand new, obsolete system underground that you KNOW you're going to have to redo in the next 5-10 years.
I understand that you may still be limited to coax to the neighborhood, but why wouldn't you make the underground network fiber? I mean, that's what your're going to have to redo shortly anyway, and that's what costs all the money in teh first place (redoing it).
