1067: Double Header

Aerial Fiber Infrastructure, Utility Poles and Aesthetics

Dane Jasper describes the physical process of stringing fiber optic cables on existing wooden utility poles. He explains that Sonic uses lightweight dielectric cables lashed to stainless steel messenger wires, which are more efficient than old copper infrastructure. Jasper addresses community complaints about the "ugly" appearance of additional wires, noting that aerial deployment allows for faster maintenance than underground lines.
