Are you talking about the UC2B network? That one in particular just agreed to run it to get the Obama era funding to connect the college campuses as I recall then they contracted out to an ISP to run and manage it.

One of the counties in our service area is in the process of 'thinking about building a fiber network that we(they) will run ourselves' We're looking for examples we can give them where the government built then network, but was then unable to continue to run it, or it didn't play out the way they expected. Here in Illinois, another county just recently transferred their BTOP funded Fiber network to a private entity because they were convinced they didn't want to run it anymore (there's more to the story, but that's the long and short from what I gather) There's gotta be stories like this all over, has there been a list compiled somewhere? -- AF mailing list [email protected] http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -- AF mailing list [email protected] http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
