Rowan

I have read your document and we have revised our design to cover the extra 
village - see revised desktop survey and map

Most of your other points are covered in a new document we are sending you 
which is a detailed proposal for a IN network.


On the outstanding issue of backhaul and future upgrades, our proposal is 
general at present and we will install backhaul starting at 2mb/s by the 
most convenient and cost effective route. This will be either fibre or 
microwave. These technologies allow upgrade to 100Mbs and 34Mbps 
respectively.

Our job as network operators is to keep the backhaul ahead of demand to 
ensure quality for all customers. Customers on our existing networks are 
experiencing average connection speeds of between 500Kbs and 1Mbs with 
bursting to 2Mbps - this is continuously monitored to keep these levels and 
be ahead of the game in upgrade. this would be the same for the network we 
build for you.

Our advice on the process of choosing suppliers is to do that in parallel 
with waiting for the EEDA decision. If you choose us, which of course we 
hope, we would immediately launch a IN webpage to permit pre-order for our 
service (at the EEDA subsidised setup prices) - this would speed up the 
process of final network design as it would permit access point location to 
go ahead before EEDA decision. The alternative of waiting until after the 
EEDA decision in July and then asking for early customers, then design 
etc.. would introduce at least a month or two's delay.


Hope that helps.

Mark
