Ho, ho, ho. Think 'fixed line' services don't have those issues? Every time I drive from my location in eastern Tasmania to Hobart, I look at the optic fibre 'backbone' that is going to service all the towns up our coast, via FTTP, Fixed Wireless etc. I can see it because its strung along the power poles by the side of the highway; really distinctive because its the lowest strung cable.
Wonder what happens when a tree branch comes down, or a car goes into one of the poles. Whole bloody internet goes down in the east of the state. Not saying existing services are immune, but the optic fibre bizzo isn't going to be secure, either.
Unless some-one wants to pay for a trench of course, with all the planning issues and costs, appeals, etc etc.
