[FRIAM] FW: ADVISORY: City Will "Flip the Switch" on Gigabit Internet Speeds at 12/14 Special Event

Dear Friammers, Here is some clarification from Sean Moody, who was one of the people who organized the City Gigabit Thing. (Note my deft use of technical jargon, here!). See below for details. Please get in touch with Sean if you see any possibilities for yourself in this new arrangem

Hi, Sean, Thanks. So let’s say I get a spool of fiber optic cable, attach one end to my computer, unravel it down the acequia to the Railyard, and arrive at one of your “terminals” (my term, not anybody else’s) with the other end. What happens? Alternatively, what happens if I put

When I met the (present) mayor, he asked me if I thought the project was just throwing $1M into a hole in the ground. It seems the answer is clear. Ed ___ Ed Angel Founding Director, Art, Research, Technology and Science Laboratory (ARTS Lab) Professor Emeritus of Computer S

Any speculation if they have realistic concrete plans for what next? Fiber internet infra is one thing. I personaly have no clue if the powers that be have a shared concrete vision for a follow throught. I am concerned it comes across like they're writing off Santa Fe. I might be wrong. I think

Here at the Simtable office there is a Fiber re-lighting station about 30 feet from the door. I am also curious what would happen If we strung a fiber-optic cable to that building. If you added up all of the Comcast bills for our little office park, I bet it would pay for some kind of fiber connect

Re: [FRIAM] ADVISORY: City Will "Flip the Switch" on Gigabit Internet Speeds at 12/14 Special Event

Is that office park all on the same network or wiring, or does each office have a unique connection? Should they all flow into one wiring closet, it's my understanding (no doubt shaky), that a switch to convert from fiber signal to coax would deliver the same bandwidth into the offices, given the

Cody are you referring to Lena Street office complex? If so I bet we could get many of the businesses here to chip in for the alternative to Comcast. We're paying them twice what we pay at home and we're getting half the speed. They've labeled it "Business Class" service, but it's worse than our st
