(dba KIH Online), I was integral in managing a vast network infrastructure that spanned six states and catered to several major educational institutions such as the University of Kentucky and other regional institutions. My responsibilities were multifaceted, but focused primarily on the administration of approximately 108 Point of Presence (POP) sites, based on Cisco and Lucent technologies. These POPs served as the backbone for dial-up internet access, an emergent technology at the time. My role extended beyond mere maintenance to include procurement and negotiation for high-speed backbone connections, ranging from T1 to UC3 bandwidths. Partnering with major telecom providers, I was instrumental in expanding our service coverage into new, often rural, areas within the Southeast US. This expansion strategy was pivotal in sustaining and increasing our customer base while diversifying the network's geographical footprint. Given the technological landscape of the late '90s, the challenges were numerous, particularly in terms of ensuring stability and scalability. My tasks included network monitoring, performance optimization, and troubleshooting, all conducted within a high-availability environment. My experience provided a deep understanding of ISP operations during a critical phase of internet adoption, with a focus on robustness, fault tolerance, and end-user connectivity.
