At this point we are awaiting for ATT to start their part of the ditch
digging.
We have the pathway done and 3 pairs of single-mode fiber hanging in the
machine room.
Then there is a "gap", I'm looking to fill.
and a 24-port managed switch (Linksys / Cisco) which I assume is suitable
for some part in the overall hierarchy.
For some of the tenants in the building, I'm planning of providing ethernet
cable and let them decide how to go from there.
