| The new Internet service that we ordered from
Qwest is now in service and the additional bandwidth we ordered
from Genuity has been installed and should be fully operational
by the end of the week. This means that there will be no shortage
of bandwidth to the Internet when Vitts goes out of business
on May 9. In addition these changes increase our total bandwidth
to the Internet from 9 Mbits/sec to 15 Mbits/sec.
I note with gratitude that Qwest, Genuity and Verizon all
cooperated in meeting our deadlines to bring us these new
connections much faster than their normal installation times.
I also thank Hartley Hoskins and John Krauspe for their efforts
in monitoring the work of these companies and making sure
the transition to the new services was timely and nondisruptive.
(Did anyone even notice that most of our traffic has been
going through Qwest since early Wednesday evening?)
If you have questions or concerns please contact Hartley or me.
Thanks, Art
