Getting More Fiber in the Diet

Lately I've noticed all new telephone poles were laid nearby, and a lot of the underground wiring in my development has been getting worked on. Perhaps this is scheduled and not related at all to Verizon FIOS, but I noticed there's a lot of fiber being laid down. I also see a lot of markings supporting that on the pavement, but I have no idea what all the markings mean:



All the fiber may remain dark for the next decade, but I'm hoping this means Verizon FIOS (fiber to the home, with a nice 15/2 connection) is on its way! Time will tell. Looking at the forums, FIOS is now appearing in Oregon ... so hopefully we'll see it in the Seattle area soon.
