was any possibility of this Sandoval system connecting to Lmdr ( Unless
you count AOL eventually talks through a backbone pipe and I am
eventually related to Yogi Bear and the Queen of England through 50
iterations) and thought it hilarious that any fool could conceive you
could just connect Kilobit 802.11 to multi gigabit fiber. ( yes I have
all this in writing ) The true story is that Terry Yates now sadly
deceased was offered a $250K donation to UNM by the Sandoval team (
who also floated bogus invoices for non existent services to UNM ) to
put out a bogus press release mentioning how Sandoval would benefit
from high speed connectivity and slip in the words Internet 2 and
Lambdarail ( Knowing it would never happen ). This was to set up the
state of NM about this wonderful idea and dully enough Governor Bill
cut them another $1m dollar check on the strength of a phone call and a
blurb piece in the Journal.<br>
<br>
As Moira is now feeding from the same trough in Sandoval she should be
put on the spot with this hypocrisy, then again the bogus physics that
occur in Sandoval is beyond belief.<br>
<br>
I think the word Broadband in this case describes some of the la femmes
involved and I have had several emails listing the true word as
Broadbandits<br>

<div>This is turning into a wonderful project<br>
<br>
Lets see, the target audience in Cuba and along 528 ( who's total
population is around 600 but only about 150 will get the signal which
will be wifi strength and less ) the county threw in $1.5m they will
throw in anther $1m more just for the signal ( Ill bet this figure will
go up ) , no one talks about the $1m the state put into the pot making
$3.5m that equates to spending $22,000 per user for a signal with no
applications attached, no email, no security, nada, no network design ,
no application design, no usability exercise, no service cost
comparison, no voip. It certainly is cheap high speed snail speed
connectivity and really gives a new definition to the word cheap
government wise that is. Netlogix should make a killing on this one<br>

Sandoval Revives Broadband Project
Albuquerque Journal – West Side edition
Friday, February 8, 2008
By Rosalie Rayburn
Journal Staff Writer
Sandoval County Commission has breathed new life into its
problem-plagued countywide broadband project.
Commissioners on Thursday unanimously approved a six-month contract
with San Diego, Calif.-based Netlogix to provide project management
services to establish a backbone Internet link from the Sandoval County
Judicial Complex at Idalia and N.M. 528 to Cuba.
The county will pay Netlogix $24,000 per month but reserves the right
to suspend payments up to two times in the event of an unforeseeable
delay, such as a delay in obtaining rights of way or other permits.
The total project is estimated to cost $144,000. The money will come
from part of the $85 million incentive the county received for backing a
$16 billion Intel revenue bond.
Netlogix will oversee management of the project. CH2MHill, an
international technology company, will be responsible for equipment
installation, under a separate contract, said Mike Good, Sandoval County's
IT director.
County Manager Debbie Hays told the Journal she expects the CH2MHill
contract to be approved in about two weeks.
Once the backbone project is completed, the next phase will be to
build a network to distribute services to customers, Good told the Journal
in an interview before the meeting.
County staff have spent about two months scrutinizing the terms of the
contract with the help of an oversight committee composed of technology
experts.
Committee member Moira Gerety, director of Computing Services at the
University of New Mexico, told the commissioners the time spent on
scrutiny will ensure there will be a complete record of the work and
invoices associated with the project.
"We want to do it right," Gerety said.
The Sandoval Broadband project originally began more than three years
ago.
It was supposed to provide cheap high-speed wireless Internet service
to benefit schools, health care services and service providers throughout
the county.
The county spent about $1.2 million but found the system didn't work.
A year ago, the state auditor launched an investigation into the
project.
The county is suing the company and individuals it initially hired for
the project.
In May, the county approved a $20,000 contract with Netlogix to
conduct a survey to see what would be needed to create a working broadband
system.
Netlogix, a national wireless consulting firm, has previously
estimated it would take about $950,000 to buy and install wireless
equipment to complete the network.
