Thanks. Nice info re:STP Sam. If I may add, the threat of nuclear war was what brought the internet into existence too - it's a long story, but a fascinating one.
As for Telco OSP cable being shielded, don't they also install BET/disconnects that take care of the STP/UTP mix? (ie with integrated protectors, grounding/draining, etc on the CO side).
Tony, they need about 2 dozen outlets with 2-3 ports each. I doubt it's going to be more than 60 station runs total. I was trying for the option of faster turnaround if we only had to lay wire on the new floor. Now we're leaning towards just putting in UTP everywhere (if we get the job, that is).
