Will Project Lightning cover industrial parks? I know round here the industrial park seems to be cabled. Over the years a few of the cabinets have opened from time to time. Most seem to have no customers but otherwise look like they could accept customers. There's one I the retail park now with its door open, it has what looks like a thick coax cable coming into it that's been cut and is just flapping around. Next to it is a thick (possibly 50 pair) copper cable which is terminated on strips for POTS. again, no customers. Makes me wonder why industrial parks and retail parks were ever cabled with HFC, no one seemed to really took them up on it.

I guess the ducts now will have fibre in them serving business customers that way, so I wonder if the ducting would be expanded or do they just dig when a business orders a leased line?
