NAP Information

[Kat Oak]

Hi All,

For those joining the conversation, Speakeasy is working on the deployment
of the following local Network Access Points (NAPs):

Cleveland, OH
Dayton, OH
Detroit, MI
Minneapolis, MN
Portland, OR
Pittsburgh, PA
San Diego, CA
Sacramento, CA
Houston, TX
Miami, FL

We brought the Baltimore NAP online & transitioned customers the third week
of April.

*Tentatively* speaking:
Portland is ramped, with an anticipated transition during the week of 5/20.
We have some good dates to work with for the Minneapolis, Cleveland, Dayton,
and Detroit NAPs and the engineering team is anticipating transitions to
begin the first week of June. Please note that these are not hard commit
dates and that all eligible customers will be notified of exact transition
times as soon as these circuits are live & successfully tested.

The rest of the NAPs are still in the coordination stages. We have orders
placed for all necessary circuits, but installation coordination involves
several different vendors.

Regarding the national backhauls: We are still considering whether or not
we'll turn Chicago into our sole national backhaul. More details on this as
decisions are made.

As always, please feel free to email me directly with any questions you may
have. We apologize for the delays in deployment, this project is priority #1
for us & our engineering team is working on it daily.

I will post updates as new information permits.

Thanks,
Kat Oak

Does a "NAP" customer get to the Internet via one of the local POPs. If so,
how will this effect existing customers on the local POPs?

Is there a danger of saturation on the local pops?

For example, I am on the Philadelphia POP, if Pittsburgh and Baltimore
customers go through the Philadelphia POP, will that not adversely effect
the Philly POP?
