FRGP
• Installing new 10/100Gbps interface card to support
growth
• Colocation updates - None
– 1850 Pearl
– 1200 Larimer
– 910 15th
• peering

10G Google peering active at 910
Comcast
TR/CPS – largest single FRGP/UPoP usage
Akamai

BiSON
• Bi-State Optical Network (BiSON)
• Major fiber move on BiSON-owned Mcleod
fiber 10/13
• Contract awarded for move
• Still working with Windstream/McLeod on shared
funding options
• ~$450K move
• Received IRU and O&M pricing from Zayo –
prohibitive
• Timing of EAGLE-Net build and lack of Fort Collins
support eliminates this option
