I'm not saying it has anything to do with directly tapping wires. I'm just saying that the DHS has an interest in building up infrastructure in this particular place.
I didn't even know Google was interested in buying fiber deployments and redoing them. I thought they were trying to build them from scratch.
First, you imply that underlying intention behind the Fiber deployment in Provo is to make surveillance a piece of cake by practically serving up data on a platter. You admit no other possibility, since this "only helps support" your thesis.
Then someone calls you on it, and you back off and say you weren't implying anything, just that [the NSA] has an interest in building up infrastructure there.
Did you even consider the possibility that both parties might be coincidentally interested in Provo for entirely different reasons?
