"Our network was on its last legs simply because the bandwidth could no longer support the number of PCs and their activities," said Dianah Neff, Chief Information Officer, City of Bellevue. "It was no longer reliable and we were unable to implement new applications. We knew that unless we did something fast, we would not be able to support the City's network now or in the future." With the assistance of the Moss Bay Group, an independent technology consulting firm based in Kirkland, Washington, representatives from the City of Bellevue reviewed proposals from several vendors to find the most appropriate solution for their networking needs. This may not seem like much, but Bellevue and Kirkland are in the heart of Microsoft country. (Also where I had my first teaching job straight out of college.) GTE's ADSL trials are concentrated in this area and I have no doubt highspeed access has strained their systems every bit as much as they say. When the trials were first announced as being available to businesses in that area, GTE/MSFT (joint sponsors) were innundated with volunteers. At any rate, this is great validation of NN/COMS' ability to meet the strenuous demands of high-speed-intensive systems. Of course, we already knew this. Pat
