    1. Community Fiber-to-the-Premise (FTTP) Networks Presentation for: City of Leadville

    2. Why Big Broadband? Broadband represents: the most dramatic and meaningful stimulation to our economic productivity and growth* Broadband is: the most promising development for job creation, education, and closing the health-care divide*

    5. Why Community Fiber Networks? Bridge the rural/urban Digital Divide Regional & Local Bells are not investing in new infrastructure Long term ROI vs quarterly financial expectations Current economic struggles Leverage existing technologies as long as possible Only 8% of all FTTP projects built by cable TV & telephone companies SpeedYour constituents want it. Foster economic development & growth Attract & retain businesses Quality of life Improved health care Enhance education New entertainment & communication options

    6. New/better services provided One network supports traditional triple play-- data communications, voice, & video services. Support innovative, new applications, including high definition TV, cable TV services, & Video On Demand IP video, VoIP telephony, smart appliances, alarm systems, home surveillance etc. Video conferencing/video telephone Community networking Future-proof infrastructure that is scalable & flexible Fiber will support all technologies available today and any unforeseen needs in the future. Investment will serve the next 30 years Existing wireless, DSL and Cable Modem networks will be obsolete within five years.

    7. A future proof network provides a competitive advantage. Enhanced quality of life. Improved access to community resourceseducation and health services. Leveraging new broadband services. Increased productivityhome business and telecommuting. Increased property valuations and higher home resale values.

    8. Issues/Challenges: How do we afford a FTTP Network? Access to Right-of-Way (ROW) is most expensive aspect of FTTP. City may leverage access to: Sewers, Electric, Gas, & roads Federal & State grants/financial assistance Long term ROI Private/Public Partnerships/Compensated Access Agreements iProvo example

    9. One Example of Cost Effective Methods Micro Conduit Micro Conduit is conduit that contains small, straw-like microtubes -dedicated channels that are enclosed within a protective jacket. Once the Micro Conduit is in place, fiber optic glass is blown through the Micro Conduit. Micro Conduit comes in a variety of sizes, types and tube assemblies. Micro Conduit can be direct buried, placed within an existing conduit, or reinforced for low fire hazard.

    10. Micro Conduit can be used to defer costs associated with technology infrastructures and Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH) and/or Fiber-to-the-Business deployments. Micro Conduit can be placed when the trenches are open and other utilities are being laid. Or, it can be placed within existing telecommunications ducting, within other utilities connections, in existing conduits, as direct bury or overhead (aerial). Once in place, fiber optic cable is blown through the Micro Conduit. Fiber needs not to be spliced, and electronic equipment does not need to be placed, except for the end points. Fiber can be blown up to a distance of 6 km on demand. Fiber can be blown when it makes sense to do so - when a customer wants service.

    11. Branching can be done anywhere along the route Provides fiber optic links all along the network from exchange to the end user on a "Just on time" basis Fiber Solution. No other transport medium is better than fiber. Fiber can support voice, data, cable and/or high definition TV, Internet gaming, etc. Applications are unlimited. Defer the Cost. Costs are deferred until the network has paying customers. Transfer the Costs. Costs for key components (active equipment, fiber and termination equipment) can be deferred or transferred to other entities, such as the end user and/or a service provider.

    12. Have Communities Deployed Broadband Networks Yes, hundreds of communities have, and many more are planning to do so. There are 94 FTTP deployments in 26 states alone as of October 2003. UTOPIA Utah Telecommunications Open Infrastructure Agency 12 to 18 communities allied to deploy a open access network. Provo Utah32,000 Homes.

    13. HOW ARE THEY DOING ? Kutztown PA 2,500 Homes Passed Operational Just Over One Year 65% of Customers Taking Triple Play Bristol VA 10,000 Homes Passed Overall 34% Penetration- in 6 months 88% of Customers Taking Triple Play

    14. HOW ARE THEY DOING ? Dalton GA 15,000 Homes Passed Overall 27% Penetration - in 3 months Still In Deployment Phases II, III, IV, VI 85% of Customers Taking Triple Play
