I had a chat to a friend of mine that drives the trains from Masterton to Wellington and he said that there has been a compay laying fibre from the Hutt Valley to Masterton down the side of the railway line and they have put up a little shed in the yard at masterton beside the cell phone tower that is there already.
The cable will go thrugh the Rimutaka Tunnel mounted to the wall but he said only a very short part of the tunnel has been done so far.
I am hoping Telstra expanding its network, but I don't know who owns the tower currently in the railway yard in masterton but why would they lay fibre all the way just for a single tower?

Anyone know who this is?

He said a group of investers put up some cable hooked onto the ganterys (hold up the overhead wires for the trains) trying to get a foot in the Hutt Vally area with communicatiosn but he does not know anything else about that.
