Talk about "Dark Fiber". 

Anyways, it is already existing conduit running into all homes on city 
water the sewer system is a natural consideration.  That being said, I 
think the issues and barriers probably block the feasibility are 
non-trivial.  We have many pipes bust on a regular basis around here and 
it seems there is an annual epidemic of exploding manhole covers .

But it may be a great possibility for cities and municipalities to offer 
highspeed internet, phone, and television service.  Seems like they have 
no problems competing the the private sector and that would give me one 
more option.  Verizon Fios, Comcast Cable, and Baltimore City.

Thanks,
