It'll never happen

somewhere along the way St.Paul or the residences will blow it away besides wouldn't this mean tearing up a lot of streets or anything like that?

But maybe they already have a bunch of fiber installed but 296 million over 30 years is a long time

Naw, at&t, comcast, and another group installed fibre and coax into our neighborhood and they only dug up small parts of the road. There is a drill and cable puller that they use to lay that stuff under ground, apparently with a conduit for protection. It is interesting how they can control and guide that drill head accurately in three dimensions. Beats tearing up all the streets.

Much of St. Paul utilities are over head. Tearing up of the streets? Like that would stop anything in the Twin Cities area... with that, I give you Light Rail.

But I agree.. St. Paul is too reserved.. there is something correct in this story.. the 30 years. It will be 30 years before they decide it's time for the big F.

Not to mention, St. Paul... right in Comcast's back yard!
