Future:  Region of Peel, Public Sector Dark Fiber Build Visit, date TBD.  We plan to organize a group visit to the Region of Peel, just West of Toronto to meet Roy Wiseman and to learn about the extraordinary regional Public Sector Dark Fiber build that he and his team have underway.  Roy is Director of Information Technology Services for the Region of Peel and his presentation at last year's CANARIE conference on issues, problems, roadblocks, economics, politics, and benefits associated with public benefit regional Dark Fiber builds, while not embracing private investment, was among the best I heard.  We've already established contact with Roy and he's looking forward to a visit.  Review his presentation and stay tuned to local lists for planning details.
