>Subject: Eddie Walton and WMTU

>Cc: ebwalton@mtu.edu, sjtyrell@mtu.edu

>Eddie Walton was down visiting late this afternoon. He and I had

>a long talk. To alleviate any further confusion as to who said what

>to who when, this is what he and I have agreed to:

>1. I have given Eddie permission to install the new Spirit system

> they purchased for now. Telcom will not send a technician up to

> assist with this - the WMTU staff is on their own.

>2. I would like Al to schedule a meeting, through Eddie, with

> the WMTU staff, to get a complete assessment of their

> current telephone/messaging circuits and any known future needs.

>3. We have agreed to keep a hold on their request for voicemail

> boxes until after step 2 is done.

>4. Telcom will come back with a complete proposal addressing

> all of WMTU's needs which is also compatible with the

> changes that MTU/Telcom is making to the University's

> telephone and messaging systems. This proposal will address physical

> plant issues, telephone and data services, and any

> necessary changes in support, and possible payment

> plan options, including potentially buying WMTU's Spirit

> telephone system from them.

>5. Eddie informed me that WMTU is interested in pursuing

> moving their transmitter from the top of the MEEM to a

> tower for broader coverage.

>6. A problem occurred the last time Telcom moved WMTU's

> block space (WMTU staff can't shut off the MEEM transmitter).

> Eddie will call Kurt directly after his student engineer gets back

> into town to track down the trouble.

>Also,

>Eddie - if you think of anything else that you forgot to mention

>or I forgot to include in this note, please contact me directly.

>Also, I would like to ask that you not request other Telecommunications

>services through the Customer Service office until we work through

>step 2 above. If an emergency comes up before step 2 is completed,

>please come see me directly.

>Chuck/Dan - can we get a complete list of services that are currently,

>or have recently been provided to WMTU free of charge? Are there

>any exchange of services agreements in place between WMTU

>and IT/Telcom?

>Thanks everyone,
