is now in the fourth phase of the project, the bidding phase. Over the past three

technology options, an off air signal survey, a competitive programming line up
review, and the actual writing of specifications for outside fiber plant, the access
service gateway (B-RAS), cable TV headend, video on demand headend, internet
headend and telephony headend. The work was further complicated by the need to
specify administrative, billing and customer care systems and a service provider
option.
On April 12, 2004, the request for proposal (RFP) was released to potential bidders.
The RFP document describes a standard based (B-PON or G-PON) full service access
