I work at Salisbury University as a network admin so I have known about this for awhile and we are pretty excited about it. We completed our part of the connection for the network, the fiber is running through the University as it goes over towards the bridge. A benefit for us is that when its done, we can dump our OC3's and jump right on the link.
I forget how many strands are in the run but there is A LOT of fiber. A good portion is being used by the University of Maryland System and NASA itself, but I am pretty sure Verizon is going to hop on as well.
Oh and its not going just between Wallops and SU, its going on over the bay bridge and to University of Maryland Baltimore. Not sure if its splitting off before then, but I know its going at least that far. |

Anyway, question for you aviper9... do you mean the University of Maryland Baltimore, or the University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC)?
