I was down-town recently (Bank & Cooper) and I watched some contractors
laying a fibre-optic line into a small 3 floor building on Cooper Street
at the sotheast corner of Bank & Cooper. It looked like a fairly large
strand, so any guesses of who could need a big fibre connection, my
guess is with ADSL, xDSL, ATM it would have to be a very large pipe,
otherwise why bother! My question is who needs that amount of bandwidth
in a nothing little building? I know 400 Cooper had at least a 100 Meg
pipe, and this pipe looked the same? Any ideas? The building directory
listed only a few small companies, a barber shop and a Dojo. Did I find
a secret government installation?
