http://snipurl.com/55qf The launch is soon, so it seems like it. "Advanced networks typically provide internet data links at more than 1 Gigabit a second, or 200 times faster than a Telecom Jetstream connection." Wow. Imagine surfing your intarweb email at that speed! -- Juha

Hey Guys, I think this is Cisco's official word on it, kinda exciting stuff really... http://newsroom.cisco.com/dlls/global/asiapac/news/2003/pr_12-30.html Cheers, Dan Clark Network Manager DunedinWireless Scarfies.Net Ltd ----- Original Message ----- From: "Juha Saarinen" To: "NZ NOG" Sent: Thursday, March 18, 2004 9:14 AM Subject: [nznog] Has the physical infrastructure for the "advanced network"been built?

That's just a campus network, isn't it? The Herald article talks about linking the various NZ unis together with a gigabit network. -- Juha

I think they are just talking about Rogers network. http://www.area.net.nz/ http://www.internetnz.net.nz/public/ngi/index.html __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail - More reliable, more storage, less spam http://mail.yahoo.com

I believe that they're talking about NGI-NZ. http://www.ngi-nz.co.nz -----Original Message----- From: Juha Saarinen [mailto:juha(a)saarinen.org] Sent: Thursday, 18 March 2004 9:15 a.m. To: NZ NOG Subject: [nznog] Has the physical infrastructure for the "advanced network"been built? http://snipurl.com/55qf The launch is soon, so it seems like it.

Folks, I know I shouldn't be feeding the trolls, but... I believe the article in question refers to NGI-NZ: http://www.ngi-nz.co.nz/network/map.html AFAIK the physical infrastructure for this has been in place for quite some time. According to propaganda I read in the Wellington Airport, Telecom provided Peter Jackson with a 1gbps link from Wellington to LA. Further, according to a Mr. Tone Borren of NGI-NZ, a largely unutilized (Telecom controlled) 622mbps link exists between NZ & Aussie and will in short order be used to piggy-back NGI-NZ on to AARNET: http://www.aarnet.edu.au/ Happy whinging, JB -----Original Message----- From: Juha Saarinen [mailto:juha(a)saarinen.org] Sent: Thursday, 18 March 2004 9:15 a.m. To: NZ NOG Subject: [nznog] Has the physical infrastructure for the "advanced network"been built? http://snipurl.com/55qf The launch is soon, so it seems like it.

Does anyone care to hazard a guess at the pricing from Southern Cross for a 2.5Gb wavelength, NZ to Los Angeles? iirc, the cost of installing the cables was in the range of $250 million US dollars... and the investors want their money back ASAP. :-) Jonathan Brewer wrote:
