This is beginning to get off topic, but nonetheless.... Could someone knowledgeabe explain what the equipment in http://grisha.iserver.net/fibercut/99050607.jpg is? Is this some kind of a bore, and could it have caused the cut? Because if yes, then it is very probable that it will happen again soon - I think I saw about 5 of these machines all around here. Is there any official info on this cut, and does anyone know who is paying for the work in the abovementioned picture and what it is for? Grisha Jeff Aitken wrote:

Nice pictures. A curiosity question. I couldn't tell from the pictures. Did you notice if anyone had marked the other fiber in the area, e.g. tiny orange flags or orange paint on the ground?
Sean,
I just took a quick walk around the building (I work in 8100 Boone) and there is definitely fresh paint in the vicinity of where they were digging yesterday. Of course, without more information, I can't tell you whether or not ALL of the fiber in the area was clearly marked. Someone from MFS who is more familiar with what fiber is laid where may be able to confirm or deny.
For the record, we had a crew out there digging in roughly the same area about a month ago, on a significantly larger excavation (all the way down Boone, from Gallows to Aline). They managed not to damage anything. You do the math. :-)
