Discussion list focusing on the design, use, and policy of municipal telecommunications networks, including regional networks supporting multiple municipalities (e.g. regional library networks). “Currently, this list is open to all subscribers, but our intent is that this be a forum for municipal officials and staff, such as MIS directors, telecom directors, cable commissioners, GIS system managers, library automation managers, dispatch system operators, etc.; and secondarily a forum for those who provide equipment and services to the municipal telecom environment. The intent is to focus on nitty gritty design issues surrounding the construction of municipal networks, including: – city/town-wide data networking – use of cable television I-net infrastructure to support town needs – consolidation of school/library/municipal networks – regional network approaches for rural areas” [description from list organisers]
