Ona physical layer, there are WAY too many points where lots of fiber from multiple providers crosses the same bridge.... uses the same railroad right of way... too many to think about and stay sane,
Considering the high cost of right-of-way, it's no wonder. I wonder if this will affect people's and various jurisdictions' views on the importance of allowing companies to dig. I agree that the lack of physical redundancy is scary. But, given the difficulty of negotiating ROW, how does an entity competitively dig where no one has dug before? Right of way... the final frontier. (Apologies to Voyager.)
