Shh! That's our secret. The sales folks think we're giving them great window offices, when we're actually building the crumple zone :-)

MCI's public relations person reported the fiber cut yesterday was in Florence, NJ; other NOCs have told me the fiber cut was in Moorestown, PA. For my own information, did anyone actually see it, and can confirm where the cut was, or if there was in fact two cuts.

by Daniel Senie 27 Mar '00

Looking for vendors who can supply T1 bandwidth via satellite service. Anyone have a list of providers who can supply such? Looking for bare-bones bandwidth to a remote (i.e. not well supported by wires) location. Any help, info appreciated. Please reply by private mail. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Daniel Senie dts(a)senie.com Amaranth Networks Inc. http://www.amaranth.com

RE: WCOM DS3 outage in PHI

At last report a backhoe, contractor and MCI/WCOM tech were at the cut. I don't know which order they arrived. NTS is splicing the fiber, and has at least some service restored. I don't have an ETR for full restoration.

Washington DC suspends fiber ditching for two weeks
by Sean Donelan 26 Mar '00

26 Mar '00

>From the Washington Post: "Mayor Anthony A. Williams ordered a two-week moratorium on cable construction under District roadways yesterday, hoping it will give his administration time to take back the city's carved-up streets from telecommunications companies." I've been asked to moderate a panel about fiber cuts and the Internet in the fall. I would like to include a participant or two from the new carriers about what steps they take to prevent construction from damaging existing fiber from other carriers. And then what they do to protect their fiber from the next competitor installing fiber in the same street. Anyone from Broadwing, Level3, Qwest, etc?

Re: rack space in NYC?
by Sean Donelan 26 Mar '00

I'm aware of lists such as http://webhostlist.com/ which lists companies, but generally not locations. And most people are aware of "famous" telecom hotels like 60 Hudson, or 1 Wilshire. In the major cities, its fairly simple. But what about other tier cities, such as Kansas City or Dayton. I was wondering, is anyone maintaining a semi-public list of co-location and telecom hotel locations around the country/world? I remember the landlord of the Westin building was talking about setting up a group for facility landlords in different cities. But I haven't heard anything more about it.
