Our industry needs to focus on providing usable high technology products and services for our end users. Pulling new cables when there are existing functional unused fiber optic links and Category cables is not only a waste of time and money, but such installations are more costly to the end user. The cost of cabling will be directly reflected in the quality and (possibly) quantity of state-of-the-art electronic devices that a customer ends up with in their system.
