Examples are rural school districts and regional library systems throughout the state.
The membership fees are be based on the total annual budget of the district or library system and the bandwidth of the main connection. Rates will be determined on the basis of how many sites are connected and what protocols will be routed on their intranet. The new local router will serve as the collector for a frame relay network connecting all of the remote sites. The remote router is also connected to the local network in the building. Additional protocols can be supported at extra cost for software and configuration hours.
