Congratulations AT&T and Alcatel- Lucent!

I was reading the other days, that AT&T is deploying 500 new U-Verse connections per day, serious rush, the picture is talking by itself. Fire to Fiber To The Node (FTTN) equipment in Houston. It can get worst, when in Japan NTT uses the Fire, sorry Fiber To The Basement (FTTB) technology, finishing the last much less than a mile with VDSL.

Do you feel safe now? On the one hand we have the gas pipe explosion in Mid-Town, cause it was old and on the other Alcatel-Lucent's on fire cause its new and the technician perhaps did not pay attention to the safety installation rules..
