California Research and Education Network (CalREN):
Briefing Package No. 4
November 1, 1993
Richard A. Hronicek
Program Director, CalREN
Pacific Bell
2600 Camino Ramon, Rm. 3S306
San Ramon, CA 94583
To CalREN Distribution List:
CalREN, the California Research and Education Network, is Pacific Bell's
program to stimulate the development and dissemination of high-speed data
communication applications. CalREN's goal is promote the development of
applications that:
* Improve education and health care delivery
* Improve business and governmental process
* Facilitate new business development and job creation
* Improve the economic competitiveness of California
Through a Request for Proposal (RFP) process, CalREN will provide free
Pacific Bell data communication services for a period of time to selected
application demonstration projects.
This may be the first CalREN mailing you have received. In an attempt to
reach the broadest possible audience, CalREN has supplemented its existing
mailing list with community-of-interest based lists obtained through
established public channels. In most cases we do not know precisely what
job title to address this to within your organization. We need your
assistance in promptly directing this package to the person or group that
has the technical expertise to evaluate the applicability of this
opportunity. In most organizations this would be a telecommunications
manager or information systems manager.
This package includes three community-of-interest based RFPs as follows:
* Education
* Health Care
* Community, Government & Commercial Services
Although every effort has been made to adequately define the sectors that
each of the attached RFPs is intended to encompass, we do expect that in
some circumstances there could still be confusion regarding which RFP to
respond to. If there is any uncertainty, please contact the CalREN staff
for clarification.
The CalREN staff can be reached on 1-800-CalREN7. Please contact us if we
can be of assistance to you.
