The Whatcom Co PUD will address blug members at our monthly meeting on Thur at BTC.
The PUD has been working a project to bring high speed TCP/IP connections to all of Whatcom Co using fiber in urban areas and wireless in rural areas. The PUD recently purchased the Avista fiber ring around Bellingham and is also making arrangements with the Port of Bellingham to ride their fiber.
Two people from the PUD Co will attend our meeting on Thur at BTC to tell us about the project. One person will answer business and policy questions, Mike Fournier or John Gargett, and the other person, Carl Rosevear, will answer technical questions. Carl worked on the original NOANET BPA project and has a lot of relevant experience.
There are a lot more people on the blug list than normally attend meetings and a large number of you work in computer related jobs for your employer or your own company. This is a great opportunity to ask specific questions of the people in charge.
If you work for a company that has expressed interest in the PUD project, perhaps this qualifies as work? See if you can get paid to attend.
