Actually, this reminds me of ANOTHER story, this one I learned from a crusty old networking greybeard back in the day before *I* was a fresh-faced young hacker kiddie learning about networks and routing for the first time.

He told me that he had been working in Sub-Saharan Africa, setting up networks in rural areas, back in the late 80s. They would string copper cable between towns, but were, again, having a problem where cables were being stolen, in this case for the copper. 2/

Apparently in Kenya they were breaking in to the electrical transformers for the oil and then cooking with it. Kinda similar to what you're talking about.https://t.co/AIUEhVVOxO
