Entrances, ha. Anyone remember that railroad tunnel in Baltimore ? And I am pretty sure that Fairfax County isn't much better.
We have a railroad tunnel in Fairfax?
single points of failure, like f'rinstance collapsed backbone segments on boone blvd. not railroad tunnels.
On the less snarky side, I suspect that one wrong move by a backhoe along the Dulles Toll Road would screw about half the east coast.
the only fiber that i'm aware of that is actually along the toll road itself belongs to the toll road folks. it would screw up the smart tag transponders for sure, but the ensuing traffic backups are unlikely to affect half the east coast (even though traffic in nova sometimes feels that way). sunrise valley dr. and sunset hills rd. are an entirely different matter though. update your maps before you go to us rentals eh? :-) ---rob
