Questions and Answers:



1) For the Bookmobiles, are you needing Internet service at a fixed location or wherever

the Bookmobile is located that day / week? If the location is a moving target, is

100Mbps required or is 25Mbps or S0OMbps sufficient at the temporary location?



Answer: The internet service is needed for wherever the bookmobile is located through

the island. Based on advisement from BIT, 100Mbps is required because of the services

the bookmobile provides and the speed required to provide said service.
