Caltech would be interested in helping you develop the asked internet network.
Our plan to do this would be:
First phase:
- deployment of fiber optics by our specialists to connect the largest cities
- bringing specialists to start a Caltech Networking Academy with a 2 year duration of the courses to form your basic network administrators, 2 years to form the next level admins and 1 year to form the experts in the field for your country
- training local workforce to install and maintain the fiber optics network so that your country is not dependant on foreign workers for this
- beginning to make courses for internet use for the population
Second phase:
- connecting the smaller cities to the network
- beginning to provide internet for the people in larger cities by creating cable and wireless networks, according with the needs and money everyone has
- mixed teams of calpian/felquan workers so that your people learn to install and deal with problems that might arise
Third phase:
- finishing expansion of the urban networks and starting to provide internet for smaller cities and villages (by this time all your schools are conected to the internet)
- felquan network admins start to finish the Networking Academy courses and begin to help and observe how the networks are done first hand
Fourth phase:
- internet networks are installed
- local experts in networking finish the courses and begin to use their knowledge to maintain and possibly expand your internet coverage and quality
Total duration of these phases are 5 years. We agree on the proposed sum of money for this and we have some additional requests if possible. We would like to maintain the Caltech Networking Academy after we finish this project and that the networking equipment and computers we sell to the falquan population will not be charged with import taxes if possible. This way it will be cheaper for the population too to start using the internet. We are offering you the Arda Linux 9.1 to be used. It has the easy way of using of the Windows and the security of the Linux, and its open source. We will not be charging any money for it. Any sugestions and demands are welcome. Please let us know if we should begin to work on this.
Having discussed your proposal with our council of ministers, we welcome the cooperation between Falqual and Calpe.
Your extension of the proposal to included the aforementioned networking academy is also accepted. Imported technology is also guaranted not to carry any form of tarriff.
We further request implementation of rigid proxy servers to limit the depravity found on the internet. While the peoples of Felqua are open minded and enjoy many liberties, we cannot in good faith trust some of the ideals available on the internet. In addition to proxy servers we also request a robust port scanner.
