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.
