We encountered some unexpected problems because the fiber path for which the municipality gave permission to dig was projected in polluted ground. As a consequence the fiber supplier was not allowed to dig in the ground without supervision of the environmental agency. This would probably take more time and therefore we decided not to dig in the polluted ground, but lay the fiber under it. Still we have to drill in the polluted ground, which means that we might pollute the clean ground as well. Anyway, we decided to start the fiber installation as fast as possible before we get new challenges, therefore tomorrow the first meters will be installed in the ground. I expect that we will need 2 weeks for the digging and drilling activities, afterwards we can test and measure the fiber.<br><br>Once the fiber is delivered we can start installing the Nortel equipment. I have planned 4 engineers for all equipment installations on the 8th of July. I expect that our Industry Partner Telindus will soon contact several people for the access of the engineers.<br><br>The SURFnet NOC will make all final configurations between the 9th and the 15th of July.<br><br>If you have any questions please feel free to contact me.<br><br>Kind regards, Stavroula<br><br>On 2-6-2010 7:24, Jim Martin wrote:<br><blockquote type="cite"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>Thanks Niels!<br></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><br></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>- Jim<br></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><br></blockquote><blockquote type="cite">On Jun 1, 2010, at 10:21 PM, Niels den Otter wrote:<br></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><br></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"> <br></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><blockquote type="cite">Luuk, Stavroula,<br></blockquote></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><blockquote type="cite"><br></blockquote></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><blockquote type="cite">On Tuesday, 1 June 2010, Jim Martin wrote:<br></blockquote></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><blockquote type="cite"> <br></blockquote></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><blockquote type="cite"><blockquote type="cite"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>Just wanted to check in and see how things are progressing for<br></blockquote></blockquote></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><blockquote type="cite"><blockquote type="cite"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>the circuits for the IETF in July.
