[AusNOG] Getting some short MMF runs

[Matt Perkins]

Graeme,
  There are a number of factors involved here. Do you own both network 
segments at both ends. That is to say is it your business to your 
business or is it your business to customer. If it's your business to 
customer then you may require a carrier license. If it's just connecting 
say your sales branch to the warehouse then that's ok however there are 
a number of factors you will need to consider.

Who's ducts will you use. If you use Telstra's or some other carriers 
they will charge you for usage in an ongoing basis.
Will you dig your own duct. You can do that but without a carrier 
license you will need to negotiate local government approval. This can 
be done but may take some serious time/effort.  These guys 
http://luminet.com.au/ may be able to help.


Have you considered some sort of short range microwave hop. It's likely 
to be a lot easier and the bert's of modern P2P microwave as in line 
with fiber. As long of as you have line of sight of cause.

Matt.
