skids writes "Look before you sit! Sewer systems all over the world are under seige by robots laying fiber to the curb -- and beyond. There's even a standards body forming. (Doesn't that consitute a one-level recursion of 'pipes carrying filth'?)" It's been a while since we last mentioned these things.

    Did you read the article?? Or even my post for that matter? I never claimed that the robots "string it or anything".

    Seems like a fiber laid in the sewer has a greater chance of being severed than one that's laid in dedicated pipes. What's preventing Joe Sanitation worker from cutting or tripping over these fibers?
    Dude, you make several references to fiber which implies that it is open in the sewer pipes. Yet, the sewerbots lay "dedicated" pipes inside the sewer pipes.
