Subject: Re: My comments to the press about RFC 2474 Date: Tue, Sep 07, 2010 at 09:52:08PM -0700 Quoting Randall Gellens (rg+ietf@xxxxxxxxxxxx): > What is at the other end of the fiber (either STOKAB or individual home > owners)? Is there a central interconnect point where any ISP can > connect? Mostly, either the power companies or the telco have rolled out sparse grid (interconnecting cities and within them, CO's.) The people doing the digging are actually building last mile, which is missing everywhere except in business areas of major towns. (and it is of course available in places where this has been done) Last mile ends up in either new mini-CO facilities or adjacent to previously existing facilities so that the last mile can be lit and connected to the backbone. In the case of STOKAB, they are present where you want them; which means that basically all CO and colo facilities have a STOKAB ODF. My current workplace has two. There is no central per se, even if STOKAB do concentrate interconnection at a number of places in the Stockholm area. Since their product is "e2e glass, period. " it is really only a cable plant. -- Måns Nilsson primary/secondary/besserwisser/machina MN-1334-RIPE +46 705 989668 I need to discuss BUY-BACK PROVISIONS with at least six studio SLEAZEBALLS!!
