Ah, the famous good-will of NANOG. I knew I would get some interesting respo=
nses.=20
I was part of the Field Ops group of Enron Broadband years ago. We deployed D=
WDM extensively. Admittedly it has been a while.=20
This 26 miles of dark fiber is deployed by a municipality in and around thei=
r fair city. Part of a deal with this new firm is that the firm will use the=
aforementioned six strands.=20
So the fiber is deployed throughout this city that has been largely under-se=
rviced. By lack of resources, the city could not deploy services to business=
es/enterprises.=20
So as I ponder the opportunity, I seek to tap the creative juices of NANOG.=20=
Thanks,
Lorell Hathcock=
