Tom, Molly, and Veronica:
If you guys would like to be enlightened as to the "dark fiber" issue you keep bringing up in the podcasts, please contact me. I have left messages in the past that you have aired, but I don't want to keep leaving messages. I would rather help you to understand who owns the fiber, the challenge bringing it to the customer, and government's role (past and present) in the process.
Check out my blog (http://mmilliman.blogspot.com) for a start.
