Unwired PDX Watch seeks MetroFi insiders for explanation

Posted by Russell Senior on 25 June 2008

For the last year or so, in furtherance of the educational mission of the Personal Telco Project as well as to satisfy our own curiosities, we have been seeking insights and explanations of some of the engineering decisions made by MetroFi. We requested speakers for the Personal Telco Project’s monthly meetings from MetroFi via Denise Graab. Regrettably, despite some promises, we never got any followup, perhaps because Denise left the company last autumn. We remain interested in understanding what went right, what went wrong, and the perspective of the network engineers at MetroFi. We had the good fortune to have an extended conversation with technical people from SkyPilot Networks shortly after our Proof of Concept study, and we would certainly welcome similar interactions with those at (or formerly at) MetroFi. If anyone is willing to share their experience and perspective, please get in touch with us and perhaps we can set something up. Thanks!
