Claim:
1. A method of providing tension to a transmission line in a pipe, comprising: inserting a transmission line into a transmission line channel of a pipe, the transmission line having a first end and a second end, the transmission line being inserted into a first end of the pipe second-end-first, and the transmission line having a first tension-load-supporting mechanism attached to the first end of the transmission line; applying a first level of tension to the transmission line in the pipe; applying a second tension-load-supporting mechanism to the second end of the transmission line while the first level of tension is applied to the transmission line; and removing the first level of tension from the transmission line to maintain a second level of tension along the transmission line between the first and second tension-load-supporting mechanisms; wherein the transmission line is a data transmission line or a power transmission line.
