<p class="MsoNormal">Following City Council approval on Feb. 26<sup>th</sup>, the
City and<span>  </span>Cyber Mesa Telecom, Inc.,
a locally owned CLEC, last week signed a $1 million, four year agreement for deployment
a fiber optic cable from the CentutyLink central telephone exchange in Santa
Fe, to a long-haul fiber point-of-presence two miles away, with a co-location
facility midway along the fiber route.<span>    </span>Upon completion, the City’s CIP High Speed
Internet Project will offer dark fiber, Ethernet bandwidth, co-location space
and ‘open access’ interconnections to all qualified providers, but will not
offer retail finish services.<span>  
</span>The project is intended to create a robust, competitive wholesale market
for carriers and providers, and to serve as a platform for further commercial
fiber and wireless build-outs in the future.</p><p class="MsoNormal">Additionally, as noted previously on this list, an MOU
between the City and State of NM Department of IT will provide connected data
transport capacity to the Albuquerque GigaPoP, thereby widening the range of
wholesale options and further stimulating competition in Santa Fe.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u>RL<u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
