DUNDEE IN SCOTLAND is the latest city in the UK to get a complete new fibre optic network running through existing sewer pipes.

The 100Mbps service, which will be available to every home in Dundee, is being put together at a cost of £30 million by H2O Networks.

Work on the Dundee Fibrecity Network project begins in six months time but no firm date has been set for completion. µ

Glaswegians would only pull it out of the brown water and use it for...

tacky christmas decorations.&#xD;

Or to beat each other up with it.&#xD;
&#xD;
Or to sell it down a backstreet.&#xD;

Dundee!?

Why Dundee of all places? Nobody cares about Dundee, it's almost as bad as Aberdeen (which is nearly as bad as Edinburgh)! They need to be rolling this out in Glasgow, the real heart of Scotland.

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
