The portion of the internet that is within the town is provided by several internet providers, including cell phone companies. These parts do not go down all at once and therefore are not causing Los Alamos and White Rock to loose service through all providers. In any case Los Alamos County and the Lab have no control over these lines. I do not know who controls the connections to the town but it is not the County or the Lab. That is part of the overall internet, and in fact that is getting less reliable everywhere.
Unfortunately there is apparently is currently only one fiber optic line running up the hill, when that one line got cut the ISP’s, “cable” and cellular towers that use this single fiber optic path lost service.
The economics of living on essentially an island up on a hill surrounded by federal or tribal land. Not sure why you are making a point with the “Lab” on this… the discussion was about White Rock And Los Alamos (the town) not LANL…..
