People? They fly, it's faster that way.
Goods? Sea transport is much cheaper.
Plus, the infrastructure from from Bering strait to Trans-Siberian railroad and China down south simply does not exist (in U.S. terms.)
What it is so special about physical wire-line installation business that attract dumbasses in much greater proportion than other networking professions? Now I kind of embarrassed to miss the obvious: unions.
