The Hon. Trevor Taylor, R2D2, has released a bit more information from behind the cone of silence, concerning the fibre optic cable project.

The "Summary of Contract" appended to the press release runs to 551 words, meaning that the public now has access to more information on a $15-million project than on a $15-billion one.

For reference, there are 1000 millions in a (North American) billion.
