Editor's holiday

Editor's holiday

I refer to my letter titled Bright idea (July 11). It's
holiday time in Indonesia. I presume our usual editor is
somewhere enjoying a vacation because my jab at environmentalists
was deleted from my letter.

The point I tried to drive home was: Locally, a single
standardized pole line is able to carry the electrical wiring at
the top, underneath run telephone copper cable, and coaxial TV
cable and optical fiber as well. Nationwide, the long distance
routes can have the fiber-optical routes run along highway
dividers, atop high-voltage power lines or laid on the ocean bed
in the case of inter-island connections -- wide fiber routes.
Moreover, Bandung and me are both still up here in West Java, we
haven't moved, yet, to West Jakarta.
