Len,
I agree with your comments. Especially the CTC advantage of: Buy the wire and our connectors, and BTW: we got poles too...You only have to deal with one supplier for all your needs...
The reason I'm compiling this list (it might take awhile, I'm only looking domestic at present) is to see "all" of our competition, and how we stack up against them. In terms of cost comparisons, ease of installation, location, and any other way we can come up with to compare.
We might as well get to know the enemy...
