Could anyone provide me with figures on conversion costs of campus
ethernets into FIDDI LANS? I would think I'd be correct in assuming that
this will be necessary before individual users at a campus can take
advantage of multimegabit dedicated bandwidth made possible by the t-3
backbone.
Of course if one is not at a campus that is a backbone node, then a t-3
from the nearest node via the appropriate mid-level would also be needed?
Are there any figues on how many of the mid-levels are going to t-3 in the
next year?
