Lots of companies are going bust because they constructed way more data
lines than there is a market for, but the result is that we should be able
to make good deals for a long time.  That is if some of them stay in
business.

Good comment, Bill.  This, if there is funding, is the way to go.

	SUNY Morrisville actually has 8 to 10 T-1 lines.  There is at least
one
	deidcated to the dorms. Two (or more) are dedicated to academic
traffic
	(labs, calssrooms, library public computers), several for our laptop
	wireless users when in the dorms, one or two for faculty offices,
one for
	administrative offices, and such.  It seems to be working very well
comapred
	to six months ago when we had two for the whole campus.  Our
president's
	philososphy is not to limit use but to buy more bandwidth.
Evidently we are
	getting very good deals because of new state ocntracts with our
provider. I
	think its AT&T but am not 100% sure.
