There is no such thing as an 'ISP license' in the US. I have a hard time imagining Texas of all places would have such a requirement. Depending on what exactly you are doing, there are various and highly varied requirements, such as acquiring a SPIN number for E-Rate, filing FCC 477 if you do

There is no simple answer, as the characteristics of each link are unique, thus the requirements for each potential upgrade are also unique. Typically an engineering study will be done to determine what exactly is required, and what the cost will be. It could be as simple and cheap as a software

I've been really happy with the Fiberstore muxes/demuxes, although I'm using CWDM not DWDM. They do the job, are entirely passive (no power needed), perform well (real world losses seem to match the test reports to a tee), seem solid enough, and this sort of stuff doesn't get any cheaper (that

Hmm, wandering pie-in-the-sky module wish list... MACsec would be great, hopefully in an easy to manage/replace form. Separately tunable transmitters and receivers; in both DWDM and CWDM flavors. This would reduce the number of different parts to track/stock, and enable the use of simple

Vlade, When you say that they still advertise your routes, do you mean: A: That you were having them originate your routes, and they failed to stop doing so when they had problems? Or... B: That routes you were originating continued to be propagated by them, even though your session with them

I'll add that if you are comfortable with MikroTik, and can wait a few months, they have announced a device with 12 SFP slots, and one SFP+ slot. It's the CCR1016-12S-1S+, and I expect it to come in well under $1k. --Eric (not OP) On Wed, Nov 27, 2013 at 8:32 AM, Andrew D Kirch
