Hi all This might not be a legitimate use of the nznog mailing list - I am sending this email to cover all of my bases. MED released a registration of interest document yesterday to provide improved broadband solutions to 60 remote schools. We've sent out an alert to as many wireless operators as we could think of but there is a chance that we have missed a regional operator or two. We looking for satellite and tailored terrestrial wireless solutions for these 60 schools since they are significant distances from fibre infrastructure. If your company is interested providing a service to even one of these remote schools then I would encourage you to submit a registration of interest. You can find out more info on the GETS website. http://www.gets.govt.nz/Default.aspx?show=TenderDetail&TenderID=33666 Again, apologies if this email seems like using the nznog list for commercial solicitation.
