CityNet Amsterdam has made a pre-selection of parties for the role of Network Operator for the active layer of the Amsterdam fiber optic access network Citynet. Yesterday, they announced that the following parties have qualified themselved:
- BBned
- KPN
- Siemens/Optaxx
- Versatel
- Volker Stevin
This also means the the following parties didn't qualify:
- Colt
- CS SI (Fr)
- Via Europe
The only surprise is that Siemens/Optaxx did qualify. It's nice because the founders of Optaxx are former executives of Bredband Benelux bv. Bredband was the first company that had the guts to initiate a FTTH-project in the Netherlands. Unfortunately they failed to make a sustainable business. But who knows, Optaxx could be the first real threat for KPN and the other well known existing network operators.
This is weblog for an interactive discussion of new technology. The contents of these weblog must contribute that technology more rapidly and better become adapted by organisations. In our vision adaptation of new technology is a necessary condition to survive. Adapt or die!

Dead on arrival
After returning home from a short holiday, I was shocked to see that my weblog statistics dropped to around zero. I have to conclude from this fact, that blogging is more or less like publishing a daily newspaper. Our readers expect everday news. Otherwise, our readers will become disappointed very quickly and leave you behind and you're weblog is dead.
