Greetings,

The BCNet Millennium Project has been designed to ensure that 
all of our internal systems, processes, and network will be ready 
for the year 2000.  Part of this project is to inventory and 
assess all of our network elements and then to upgrade or replace 
those identified as non-compliant.  It is our objective to have 
all upgrades completed by September 1999.  At that time, all BCNet
services will be year 2000 compliant.  

Readiness for year 2000 is a complex subject and the performance 
of any system or service will depend on the readiness of a variety 
of other carriers and entities.  We are actively working with our
suppliers and seeking commitments that their services will also be 
ready for year 2000.

We realize that the network is vital to your operations and as 
such, upgrades will be limited to our standard daily maintenance 
window of 06:00 to 08:00 am PST.  Some upgrades have already been
successfully completed.  As always, you will be informed by email 
when maintenance will be affecting your network link or services 
with BCNet.

Please check our web site at www.BC.net for further information 
regarding the BCNet Millennium Project.

Thank you,
