> Does anyone know of any MAN (or anything else for that matter) options > at this location? Yes, somebody does know but they are unlikely to be on this list. In general, for any commercial building in any city, there is a building manager who takes care of utilities, air conditioning, heating systems, etc. This person or persons will be aware of any and all telecommunications circuits into the building and which companies send technicians to monkey around with the comms closet. That should be your first port of call. If that person is too hard to get answers from, next best is to talk to neighbouring commercial buildings because MANs are built in rings so chances are that one of the companies connected to neighbouring buildings will also be in yours. Third port of call is to contact the sales departments of all the companies offering MAN services in your city. Since they have a chance to win some business, they will be happy to research their internal records to find out whether or not they have infrastructure in your building. Fourth port of call is your other technical contacts in the city/country in question. And maybe in the fifth position, or lower, is a general mailing list like NANOG. My question is, did you actually go through all the above BEFORE posting to NANOG? --Michael Dillon
