UNCLAS MEXICO 000762 SIPDIS DTSPO FOR BRS/CMD/BMT SECSTATE FOR IRM/BPC/CST/LD/WHA ATO HQS FOR GCS/FOD FRC FOR RIMC E.O. 12958: N/A TAGS: ACOA AMGT ANET KRIM SUBJECT: DTS-PO INTERNET TRANSPORT SERVICE - MEXICO REF: 09 DTSPO 2312 ¶1. This telegram supersedes recalled 10 Mexico 756 - incorrect pricing data. ¶2. As per REFTEL, Para 4, we have contacted our existing ISP VPN vendor provider and attempted to obtain costing for one year internet service with aggregate speeds of 1 MBPS, 2MBPS, 3MBPS, and the next incremental speed. The vendor was advised that these services must provide a copper Ethernet port at 10, 100, 1000 MBPS. The vendor was further advised that they must provide two public internet routable addresses from their internet address space which shall not be filtered or block any IPSEC ports or protocols. ¶3. The vendor, TelMex, does not provide two public internet routable addresses from their internet address space with their DSL packages. Furthermore, they do not offer DSL in speeds greater than 2MBPS; therefore the only package they offer that meets the requirements is a dedicated E-1 service (2.048MBPS). Costing follows, as per Para 5 of REFTEL: Non -Reoccurring Costs (all costs in USD): 0.00USD Annual cost: 13,679.00USD Is it the same vendor that provides post's DOS VNET service: Yes. ¶4. This telegram has been cleared by all appropriate offices at AmEmbassy Mexico. Thomas A.
