[ILUG] esat cable mystery?

[Brendan Kehoe]

In today's Irish Independent, there's an interesting blurb in a story about a
committee report's concern for the safety of the rail system:

                         * Major safety fears arose from the
                         laying of 1,800 km of fibre optic
                         cables for Esat along the country's
                         entire rail network. It was not carried
                         out to appropriate standards. 


Anyone happen to know any more detail about the cable, what it's intended to
support, and the like?  Do they have routers/repeaters incrementally along the
rail line?  The curiosity is killing me. :)
