murst[/url]":3c07iqg2]So right now, there are two plans. One created by Google, the other created by Comcast/ATT.
Honestly, I can understand why Comcast and ATT would be a little nervous about having a third party work on their lines. I can also understand that Google feels like Comcast/ATT are stalling.
Why not have a plan that meets somewhere in the middle.
For example, have Google make a request, and allow Comcast/ATT 2 weeks to complete the request. If Comcast/ATT doesn't complete it in 2 weeks, then Google could do it themselves.
I just don't get why its so difficult.
2 weeks ... oh, there's a missing comma. 2 more weeks. Oops lost the paperwork. 2 more weeks. Oh, this only applies to 3rd street. Repeat ad nauseum.
Bottom line: It's a horrible idea to give a job to someone with a vested interest in *not* getting the job done, especially when they can't be penalized for goldbricking it.
Its strange that you're dismissing my proposal by manufacturing problems with it.
I thought it was pretty clear in my proposal that they have 2 weeks to complete it. I don't really recall anything about extensions for missing commas.
The entire point is to allow the people who actually OWN the poles to work on them. If they choose not to do so, then allow the person who needs the work to be done to do it themselves. This both respects the property of Comcast/ATT, and it provides Google with assurance that their needs will be met without much delay.
I thought it was pretty reasonable.
