Shalesh,

Please, look into it. Can we give them this information?
I see a remote possibility of a gain for Enron: it's in our interest to
support
the growth of this market and part of the process is development of the
infrastructure for this market and maintaining public interest.

Vince

Dear Sir:

The Scientific computation group at the University of
Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, has recently started to be very
interested in the recent developments of the bandwidth
market. We find that the specifics of the bandwidth market
offer challenges from the modelling point
of view.

However, we have encountered difficulties when looking for
data, and we were wondering if you could help us. Specifically
we would like to know for a given city pair for the different
existing type of lines ( e.g. OC3, OC12, OC48 .... )

1. What has been the spot lease prices (e.g. $/line-type/mile) for
the past 12 months?

2. What is the price of the dark fiber for a given type of line?

3. What is the maintenance cost $/month ?
(for the same lines, e.g. OC3, OC12, OC48, ...)

4. What is the upgrading cost for the different lines?
(e.g. how much does it cost to upgrade)
OC3 --< OC12
OC3 --< OC48
OC12 --< OC48

5. How long does it take to upgrade a line from a certain
capacity to another (e.g. 1 month, 2 month, ...) ?



We realize that some of these questions may ask for confidential
data, in that case we would really appreciate if an order of magnitude
was provided. I look forward to hearing from you.


Sincerely,


Yann d'Halluin
