RC Submarine Lays Fiber Through Sewers In Italy 122
Francesco Fondi writes "An Italian Company is using RC scale model submarines to lay fiber through Milan's sewage system. The RC submarine used is the Neptune SB-1, produced by Taiwanese company Thunder Tiger. It costs ca $600 in US hobby shops." In Italian, but the pictures speak for themselves.

I always thought that would be a good way to construct a community driven "Guerilla Net", that flouted the laws that seek to control our communications systems.
The other idea was to build solar powered WiFi meshing routers and attach strong magnets to them. A radio controlled helicopter would then be used to attach them to inaccessible places on high metallic structures, where they would be very difficult to remove.

This makes sense, I have been using RC 4wheel drive cars to run cable under craw spaces and in some cases, across long stretches of drop ceilings for a couple of years now. The great thing is that I can deduct toys from my taxes.

What surprises me is that the sub can negotiate the sewer with all that shit in there. You would think the prop would have issues.
Rotting fiber? (Score:3, Interesting)
How do they keep the fiber from rotting? Sewers contain all sorts of household chemicals, in addition to biological waste.
