I have a few questions about this... 1) What provider does TLG get Internet service from? This is to guage reliability and hops. 2) How fat is the TLG feed pipe? We might want T3 in the not too distant future. 3) How is your business structured? Corp, private, public, partnership, non-profit? We're a planning more like a co-op here where the subscribers own and maintain the hub and have an opportunity to locate a server at the hub to be closer for info service connections (don't want that stuff over slip). We are certainly interested in the possibility of working with TLG for a POP here if it will help us reduce start up costs. Boulder is a small highly techno community. The potential for business is quite good. Barbara L.
