The interesting note here is that underground doesn't mean safe from
lightning.  Apparently (discovery channel) lightning will hit
underground power lines up to 4 feet underground in the right soils.  I
have never played with outdoor fiber, so I have no qualified opinion on
the matter, but any arial anything has a tendency to collect static,
which might be one of the reasonings for metal jacketed fiber.  Normal
electric lines ground to earth at almost every pole.(The neutral, not
the hot line)
