I would like to get some feedback on what people think
about installing SHIELDED twisted pair.  

I am currently doing a network design for a building that
will have approx. 800 offices.  The building will be used
as a computer research facility.  High speed networks will
be required.  Each room will have UTP, coax or a  some 
combination of the two.

But, I'm getting the feeling that FDDI will be supported on
shielded twisted pair.  800+ runs of anything will be 
expensive and I am willing to bite the bullet, but which
bullet?
