SABERS, Justice
(concurring specially).
I write specially to point out that SDN’s facilities have not been constructed and have not physically replaced USWC’s facilities yet. Likewise, “fifty miles of USWC’s cable facilities” have not yet been stranded. Therefore, because the PUC’s order is reversed by us, there has been a taking in theory only and the majority’s statement that “USWC is entitled to compensation for inverse condemnation” is premature and in error. The opinion should not hold that “USWC is entitled to compensation for inverse condemnation” without additional explanatory or limiting language.
