They've been burying wires along the sides of US40 up here . . . are they hooking up fiber optics? If so, does that improve the possibilities of getting DSL or cable modem service?

That sounds like EZ Pass. If it is, I hope it goes there than it did here in NJ.

Sounds like they are creating a "fiber ring" around whatever city you live in to the outlying areas.

I highly doubt it's for EZ Pass or traffic cams . . . LOL. ;) I live about 250 miles from Denver in a place commonly known as "BFE."
