Editor's Notes
- #5 The goal is the same old same old. You want a cost-effective, operable, manageable design.
- #6 And you want it quick
- #13 Why a pilot program? In order to ensure that we will deliver quality, reliable and high-speed access, OMU is starting with a comprehensive pilot program. This provides an opportunity, on a smaller scale, to test equipment, assess infrastructure, determine the best practices and ensure customer satisfaction. After the initial pilot program, if it is successful, OMU will expand to other areas, methodically and deliberately to maintain the same level of service and satisfaction.
