Re: Gas Companies Smart to Avoid This

Uh, yes, you did.

The BiG (or BOGUS) proposals to date don't include fiber. While fiber in the gas pipe might make some sense in more urban environments to get to the building, in more rural or suburban environments it's hard to see the savings vs. burying fiber. Additionally, it would need to be bypassed around valves, meters, etc., which would be quite expensive.
