Conference finds fiber headed for metro-area nets eetimes.com Frank, Thank you for the hint and for looking into the last 100 feet. I am out tomorrow but will check back later in the week. It seems that last mile fiber and wireless are making significant headlines these days. With VOIP also making progress, year 2000 should be very interesting for many of the telecom companies: new and old. Regards Steve

From the SCTE List: I know most of us automatically anticipate the sun outage periods with the arrival of March and October each year. With all of the buying and selling and building and job changing, I was getting concerned that some of you might be distracted and could possibly use a little reminder. So, consider yourself reminded. Ok, I know Poge didn't need to be reminded. Some resources as you prepare to "remind" your csr's, techs, managers, dispatchers, subscribers, etc. There is a nice page on Sun Outages at gourmet-ent.com including tables. GE Americom (Satcom and GE) has some information and adownloadable outage calculation program at their web site geamericom.com PanAmSat (Galaxy and SBS) has a nice sun outage page with an online calculator at panamsat.com Spacecom has an online calculator at spacecom.com The old dos standby program, "Sunout" is available from several sources, including Simtel.Net. See the file, sunou332.zip at ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/msdos/satelite/ Fellow list member, Jonathan Kramer has Sunout.exe available on his website at cabletv.com -- way down near the end, after the Kamikaze picture. Several programs are available on Broadcast.net's Bware page. In addition to Sunout, there is a program called "Satellite Utilities". See Sud.zip at broadcast.net McKibben Communications has a program called "Look.exe". For information see mckibben.com or download directly from ftp://nt1.mckibben.com/look.exe Integrated Systems Design has a program called "Epoch" that supposedly does arc and transit outage calculations. See ISD's page at i-s-design.com. Ok, admit it, who out there is still calling them "sun spots" or "solar flares"?
