I was referring to electrical distribution or transmission. Putting in a 2" conduit with some glass in it is a different beast than 34kv or 345kv lines. :-) ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions Midwest Internet Exchange The Brothers WISP ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jared Mauch" <jared () puck nether net> To: "Mike Hammett" <nanog () ics-il net> Cc: "Rod Beck" <rod.beck () unitedcablecompany com>, nanog () nanog org Sent: Tuesday, February 16, 2021 8:38:11 AM Subject: Re: Texas internet connectivity declining due to blackouts

Labor is something in 8x but the permit/engineering cost is usually the same per foot, but the make-ready on poles can make underground competitive or more like 1.5x when you fully bake the costs. Really depends on pole distances and quality. O&M long-term is lower on underground vs aerial. - Jared
