How is the outside plant being built and supported? Who fixes fiber cuts?
Who manages the fiber-cut-fixers? Who monitors the network and handles
initial triage to determine if there is a fiber cut, as opposed to a
hardware/optic failure?
Those questions lead to many others, such as who has documentation and
as-built drawings for the fiber plant? Are all of the access agreements,
insurance certificates, letters of agency, etc. up to date and accurate?
