   Back in the 1980s the company I worked for was the first occupants of   
   the re-purposed Rincon Annex Post Office building, and as part of the   
   installation,, they paid for a custom cable that ran 6 or 8 pairs of   
   copper and two pairs of fiber to EVERY cube in the warren.   
      
   The company is long gone and I have no idea who occupies the space or if   
   any of the New Age insanity remains, but I wonder if any of that fiber   
   was ever lighted.  (And no, I don't think the copper supported UTP   
   Ethernet because the Macintosh people ran their own Firewire to cubes   
   that were to access the communal laser printer.
