[1st-mile-nm] Conduit

[Steve Ross]

Damn. I'm in India until Aug 31 and away from my notes.

In greenfield it is actually the norm. They worry about rupture and repair
issues but fiber isn't copper.

Take a look at articles on our site from Renaissance solutions (pipe
bursting). They are gone but the technology survives and a long article
mid-2006 on using pipes themselves for conduit. There are actually ASTM
standards that apply.
