[IMC-Tech] Re: [Imc] Running Cable for internet into the building...

[Mike Lehman]

Hi Dan,
Given Tech has no particular budget for this, I assume that the funding 
will come from general funds, assuming that Tech has consensed to this 
solution. Thus, this should go to Steering for final approval. However, 
getting all the details tied up will help with making the argument to 
proceed, so making sure this will work and confirming that there will be 
no install charges is useful in establishing those.
