30,000 subscribers depending on a single cable. Re-dun-dan-see. Learn it, live it, love it.

  We should invent a system to transmit packets that is resilient to nukes. Maybe Department of Defense should get involved. Maybe they should even make some advanced research project agency or something.

      On the other hand, this thing may become ... the information super-highway!

        lol, the car metaphor again. That came from the guy who thought the next big thing is talking paperclips, right?

  Oakland is fairly densely populated urban area. 30k subscribers is an other way of saying, that people living in an area of roughly 3 sq miles depend on a single cable. Redundancy for last mile isn't economically feasible for any infrastructure.

    Having redundant cable paths to service 30k subscribers is economically feasible.
