General office ports: 96 (100 Mbit possibly PoE)
Core video ports: 24 (Gigabit)
Control system ports: 12 (100 Mbit / Gigabit)
Edit system ports: 24 (Gigabit)
Filer ports: 24 (Gigabit)

So probably 180 ports in total. I was thinking approx. £12k for the project probably £60 a port. The thing I like about the way it works over in the papers is that all the ports are effectively the same. They're all either gigabit, 100Mb or 10Mb and they can have PoE on any port. Then they just select the appropriate settings and enable the right VLAN's to make a specific type of port.

While i'd like every port to be gigabit, I realise the cost would be massive. Also, the majority of users wouldn't benefit from the increased speed given our WAN connection is currently only 10Mbit.
