[RTC List] Redundant Internet (not rendundant fiber)

[G W Bell]

Maybe this has been discussed somewhere.  If so, I missed it.  What Humboldt 
County needs is what Rio Dell has:  redundant internet (consisting of fiber 
optic cable backed up by a microwave link).  Instead of burying another 
fiber optic cable (or stringing it on poles) the 120+ miles to Redding, has 
the "Rio Dell solution" been considered to bring redundant internet to the 
entire Fortuna-to-McKinleyville area of Humboldt?

I have no idea if 101Netlink could or would do it, but that'd be a good 
place to start.  I know the telephone company could do it, but would it be 
worth their while for the tiny market in Humboldt?

Additional thought(s):  Do reps from the phone company or Suddenlink monitor 
this list?  Are they active participants in RTC meetings, plans & seminars?  
If not, they should be....

Thanks for your time,   George
