Fl. County Halts FTTP Until Installation Is Safer

"Warning: Deploying Verizon's new Fiber To The Premises (FTTP, see
previous) in YOUR neighborhood may involve geysers of raw sewage
spewing onto your front yard or sinkholes opening and swallowing
moving vehicles. Well, Hillsborough County, host to one of the first
FTTP trial sites, has ordered Verizon to stop deployment of FTTP until
they can figure out how to stop creating sinkholes that open up under
minivans with children inside. No word on whether SBC is having
similar problems with their fiber roll-out."
