One beneficial consequence of Katrina is that the New Orleans and Greater Louisiana systems are ahead of some other Cox systems in terms of its Extendable Optical Network, or E.O.N., initiative, Cox\ufffds company-wide plant upgrade project.

\ufffdThey [New Orleans] became our first system to really implement E.O.N., because we were having to rebuild anyway, so we [thought we] might as well do it right,\ufffd Kroeger said. \ufffdAnd they are very close to being finished. Baton Rouge has got a little more time to go, but they\ufffdre also doing very well with that.\ufffd
