This is an internal (not publicly available) project deliverable providing information about the installed base of dark fibre in the SEEFIRE target countries. The deliverable has been submitted to the EC in August 2005.

A public report on the networking status of NRENs in southeast Eurpe, which includes case studies describing the experience in deployment of a national network infrastructure by NRENs in the region and, to a limited extent, in other countries that have faced similar issues. The deliverable has been submitted to the European Commission in September 2005.

A list of DWDM equipment vendors is being prepared by the projec partners. The list is meant to provide information to people that are new to the technology but need to buy equipments.
The list will not provide product comparisons.

A report on technologies and equipment for enabling a dark-fibre infrastructure in southeast Europe at different levels - national, regional and international - incorporating available results from individual dark-fibre deployment activities taking place in the region and elsewhere.

A report on solutions for enabling a dark-fibre infrastructure for southeast European NRENs targeting different deployment cases with respect to costs and operation needs, providing examples of documents and specifications used for procurement in other countries and reporting on known adaptations needed for their application to NRENs in the region.

A report providing an overview of the evolving regulatory environment for the countries under consideration, taking into account inhibitors and opportunities for the ownership of dark-fibre networks, and of approaches to influencing its development towards best standards.

A report containing an analysis and evaluation of the different economic models for dark-fibre acquisition at international and national level and showing the cross-over points for the different approaches.

This deliverable will be a Powerpoint Presentation providing a standard overview of the project facts and planned results and providing a pointer to the project web site.

An evolving document, of which the final version summarises the dissemination activities carried out during the project.
The first version of the deliverable was produced at Month 3 of the project.

The executive summary of the SEEFIRE project, which will address the digital divide and inhibitors of research and education networking in SEE countries as well as the potential impact of NREN-initiated efforts for dark-fibre acquisition. A preliminary version of this document will be made available to participants at a policy workshop to be held in the second half of the project.

A report about the activities and actions carried out during the project to promote and transfer the SEEFIRE information and documents the public.
