We've been approached by Time-Warner, who seems to be farming out more and more of its OSP work. Must be a move to reduce the number of inhouse employees. Currently in the "How many guys can you give us? How soon?" stage. Anyway, I'd be curious to know how it's worked out for you. -Steve

Right now I usually see ACI trucks around. Over the years, I have noticed MasTec, Baker Installations, and Cable Express. Also seen a company called Miller Cable Construction around but don't know if it's cable or electrical. Jeff Moss Moss Communications Computer Repair-Networking-Cabling MBSWWYPBX, JGAE
