Just a note from the Kansas City Perl Mongers letting you all know our next
meeting will be at 7PM on Tues. July the 8th at the Planet Sub on 50th and
Main. And as it crosses over into areas of interest to lug's I hope you all
won't mind the post.

The presentation will by Adam Sajna on the Politics and
Implementation of Internet Infrastructure.

Ever wonder about the differences between self-styled
Internet backbone providers, Tier 1, Tier 2, and small time
ISPs. You've heard of T1's, but what about T3, OC3, OC12,
OC48, and OC192? Know what peering is? Variations on peering
agreements, when and how they are formed? Balanced bandwidth?
Where the feeds come in to Kansas City? What goes on behind
the scenes? How to get a 100Mb feed for $1,000/month?

Next week's meeting promises to be interesting. Hope to see you there.
