ACS to build cable link to Oregon

Anyone see the article in Sundays paper about ACS laying another fiber 
optic cable to Oregon.

It looks like it also picks up Nikiski and Homer. Shame they don't pick 
up Kodiak while they're at it. The State Rocket Launch facility could 
probably make use of it. Not to mention the commercial fishing industry.

Re: ACS to build cable link to Oregon

I believe that there are already two fibers to Kodiak...

I like this little excerpt from the provided link:

"The system minimizes exposure of the Turnagain Arm communication  
corridor to earthquakes, landslides or terrorist acts."

Then if you click on the 'Project status' page at this link:

http://www.icardllc.com/projectstatus/

Now tell me, how secure from terrorist acts is this? ;)

The obscurely hidden missile batteries, machine guns and landmines do it for 
me.

I guess I missed that. Last I knew Rich McKinney, Dee's brother that 
works at the Kodiak Launch Facility and that used to hang out with us, 
was crying for bandwidth.
