2.    Update from Internet2

He is working with the vendor on shipping schedules and he will provide more details soon.  He added that the colo suite in LA will be moved soon so that the optical equipment and other equipment will be in one facility.  He also mentioned that a testbed has been created to determine if equipment from multiple vendors can easily be used when creating an IDC.
