SEGP Connectivity SurveyFall 2002
Survey Goals• Provide a high level view of the connectivity and enabled technologies within the SEGPs
• Also, totals for the entire SEGP program (as of August 2002)
• Provide contact information for pursuing additional information
• The goal is NOT to provide a detailed site survey as this is too resource intensive and hard to maintain
