Does anyone have a suitable rule of thumb to predict the incidence of cable seeking backhoes/trawlers per km? I've tracked down one reference of 'one hit per 7 months per 1000km', without any qualification as to location. One would for instance imagine that armor-plated cable sitting on the bottom of the ocean would have a different failure rate to that of RG9 strung across the local street. Google has thus far been rather unhelpful. -- Michael Newbery IP Architect TelstraClear Limited - To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog

Easy, get an insurance company to do the research for you.... Tell them you have a cable from Auck to Wlg that will cost you $100,000 every time someone cuts through it. Ask them for a quote to insure yourself against the loss. When they come back with the quote, you can either work out the odds yourself from the price, or complain about the price and ask them what rediculous formula they used to work it out :) Cheers BG. - To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog
