Can fibre just be vurutwad (i.e. pulled in)...discretely into my building...?
by Timothy Mutugi 03 Aug '11

03 Aug '11

I am in a building along Moi Avenue, the landlord is very slow and shallow...I only bear with him because the place is cheap... ...anyway, I wanted to have fiber pulled into the building so that I can sambaza it to other tenants and make some $... ...I know there is fiber nearby because I saw some digging going on several months ago. Someone at on of the local providers told me that I dont even have to talk to the landlord so as to have fiber vurutwad (i.e. pulled in) into the building... My dear skunks/skunkettes/skunklings, is this true? If so, please talk to me OFF LIST or ON LIST if you can vuruta this fiber for me...let's make some $... Timo. p.s. I have 0% knowledge of fiber or is it fibre...all I know is that it is supposed to be super fast...
