A Ben Werner from Xcel Energy alerts me to the fact that our backyard will be drilled soon, to move our electricity supply from an overhead cable to underground.  We can also have Cat6 cable (internet) and coaxial cable (cable TV) run in at the same time.  I frankly am uncertain what cable we will need, and also wonder whether we ought to run in fiber optic at the same time—to be prepared for who knows what revolution in communications is next.
