-
- You say that our NETWORK ARCHITECTURE will determine the performance
-
- characteristic of the service. Who establishes this and what are factors
-
- that limit the performance capabilities?
-
-
- Explain the limitation of access to only 252 locations when we (a customer)
-
- have subscribed to a port. The 252 is referencing the number of PVCs per
-
- interface. PVC stands for Permanent Virtual Circuit.
-
-
- Description of the X.25 protocol.
-
-
- What do you mean by "the FRS is a network interface based on statistical
-
- multiplexing?
-
-
- InterSpan Frame Relay is a combination of the flexibility of the X.25
-
- packet protocol and the performance of private lines?
-
-
- How is access limited to authorized parties?
-
-
- Will AT&T prepare its design concept and its planned implementation
-
- support documented in our business plans.

-
-
- What features of private network access do you lose under the IAS,
-
- Information Access Service? You gain the economies of shared public data
-
- networking, but, what private line benefits are sacrificed?
-
-
-
-
-
- WHAT IS OUR VOICE LINKAGE FOR COMSOAR SITES?
-
- IS THERE ANY TELEPHONE EQUIPMENT REQUIRED FOR CHASSIS
-
-
- (PORT CONNECTIONS ONLY?)
-
- IS THE EQUIPMENT DIFFERENT FROM NORMAL PHONE UNITS?
-
- WHAT PERIPHERAL EQUIPMENT IS NECESSARY AT CABLEUSA?
-
- WHAT PERIPHERAL EQUIPMENT IS NECESSARY AT PARTICIPANTS?
-
- IS THE FRAME RELAY EQUIPMENT SEPARATE FROM THE NORMAL
-
- BUSINESS TELEPHONE EQUIPMENT?
-
-
- Does the AT&T InterSpan Frame Relay Service allow for data communications
-
- with all participants in a given market, simultaneously? Fully Meshed
-
-
- POP = Point of Presence
-
-
- What significance do the various speed options have to CableUSA? Is this
-
- individual choice, multiple choice, or, are all available depending on need?
-
-
- Tell me about choosing the minimum committed information rate (CIR).
-
-
- Am I correct in assuming that each participant could also be addressed
-
- independently?
-
-
- How will we be able to poll stored data accessible by frame relay port, or,
-
- stored in a participants hard drive?
-
-
- AT&T Simultaneous Data Communication To All Sites In A Given
-
- Market and Separate Site Data Communication, TOO?
-
-
- Does each market participant require separate ports in able to distribute
-
- data communications within market WANs?
-
-
- If CableUSA wanted to double the size of its Frame Relay Service, what
-
- would that entail?
-
-
- Multiple Year Commitment to service rates for Frame Relay Service?...
-
- Favored nation commitments?
-
-
- Will commitment to the Frame Relay Service restrict our use of any data
-
- communication technology improvements that AT&T developes?
-
- With PC based data communication receivers, would it be possible to have
-
- a swithcing device to route data to an alternative PC?
-
-
- If bandwidth is not available for transmitting data, is the data stored
-
- until bandwidth is available, and, then automatically delivered?
-
-
- How is data handled when the transmission is intended to be delivered
-
- simultaneously to all participants in a given market and some are currently
-
- using the equipment or sending data...etc....?
-
-
- CableUSA will have multiple departments that will need to send and
-
- receive data communications, what limits will they be under?
-
-
- Will we be limited to the number of workstations within CableUSA that
-
- can access the Frame Relay Service bandwidth at any given time?
-
-
-
-
- What type of system integration synergy is needed to allow for the same
-
- data communicated to market participants to be simultaneously communicated
-
- within CableUSA?
-
-
- Does the receiver need to take any action in order to receive data
-
- communications?
-
-
- Have you allowed for data communication within a given market...between
-
- cable systems?
-
-
- Do the equipment leases include the option to upgrade to emerging
-
- technology or options to purchase?
-
-
- Does the PBX system allow for callers to have the option of going to
-
- different sources for person to person communication, such as, assistant
-
- to party called, or company operator?
-
-
- Given that the quality of CableUSA's support services will be greatly
-
- dependent on voice and data communication, I believe the forecasted usage
-
- of 200 hundred minutes, per month, per employee is far too little.
-
-
-
- Does the forecasted minutes include internal voice usage?
