Message-ID: Date: 19 Apr 89 02:30:37 GMT Sender: news@vector.Dallas.TX.US Organization: NJ InterCampus Network, New Brunswick, N.J. Lines: 24 Approved: telecom-request@vector.dallas.tx.us X-Submissions-To: telecom@eecs.nwu.edu X-Administrivia-To: telecom-request@vector.dallas.tx.us X-TELECOM-Digest: volume 9, issue 138, message 2 of 6 Someone has offered a satellite T1 (I still have to buy the local loop) to or from any combination of New York, Miami, Los Angeles, and San Francisco for about $4,000 per month. They are also planning to offer Houston, Dallas, Chicago and Detroit. I'm giving serious consideration to using these links in a couple of networking and supercomputing proposals. I've never heard of these guys (I won't post the name because I don't want to be advertising for them, but I'll provide the name on individual request). Can someone really do this? AT&T is asking $30,000/month for a T1 from NY to LA. --> Any disclaimers, made by me or by anyone on my behalf, may or may not accurately represent my representation of myself or others. -- =========================================================================== - Brian Jay Gould :: INTERNET gould@pilot.njin.net BITNET gould@jvncc - - UUCP rutgers!njin!gould Telephone (201) 329-9616 - ===========================================================================
