[AusNOG] Pacific Fibre dead?

[james_hutchinson at idg.com.au]

Spoke to Mark Rushworth yesterday - they've indeed sent out RFPs this 
week, but the memorandum of understanding with Pacnet expired in February 
and wasn't signed.

Interesting to note they nabbed Pacnet's key business director out of the 
deal though, so looks like they got the expertise they needed.

Cheers

Hi Skeeve

I heard that the Pacific Fibre RFQ to the System Vendors was sent out 
yesterday so definitely not dead...

and thats from a source extremely close to the coal face.

cheers

Hey all,

I heard something the other day and I seemed to have missed the news about 
it.

Last August there was lots of news about the new Pacnet/Pacific Fibre from 
Syd-NZ-Samoa-LA.

But I heard at the Commsday event the other day from someone that Pacnet 
has quietly backed out of the project.

Is this true? Is that cable now dead?
