Broadband Definition and Key Concepts • • Broadband supports multiple concurrent services Data Rates (dedicated, burst, sustainable, average) Always On Open Access September 29, 2009 Broadband Report 4
What is Broadband? • General Term referring to high capacity communications facility – an information “Pipe” • Typically refers to digital connection which can provide a variety of services (voice, data, video) simultaneously • Data rate has increased over time – originally more than a “voice channel” or 64 Kbps • NOT synonymous with “INTERNET” – this is an important distinction September 29, 2009 Broadband Report 5
Key Long-term Technology Trends Analog to Digital (ease of convergence) u Digital Encoding (fewer bits) u Computer Processing (Moore’s Law) u Everything IP (the end of Silos) u September 29, 2009 Broadband Report 6
Transmission Technology u u Fiber • • Highest Capacity (nearly unlimited) Readily Expandable • • Existing infrastructure Capacity increasing but within limits Copper/Coax u • • • u Wireless Capacity increasing but within limits Mobile Rapid deployment Hybrid September 29, 2009 Broadband Report 7
Typical Fiber Capacity Virtually unlimited with proper electronics u 10 – 40 Gbps per “Lambda” for “Active technology up to 40 miles u 1 Gbps per “Lambda” for “Passive” u Up to 1000 s of “Lambdas” per fiber u 100’s of fibers per bundle u September 29, 2009 Broadband Report 8
Typical Copper Capacity Shared Service, distance sensitive u DSL 6 Mbps/1 Mbps u ADSL up to 20 Mbps u VDSL up to 40 Mbps u Best deployed with “Fiber to the Neighborhood” u September 29, 2009 Broadband Report 9
Typical Cable Capacity Basic CATV Video distributed as RF u Shared Gen I data services (DOCSIS) 3 Mbps u Gen. II (DOCSIS 2. 0) 10 Mbps/2 Mbps u DOCSIS 2. 0 50 Mbps/10 Mbps (higher with bonding) u Built on “Fiber to the Neighborhood” u September 29, 2009 Broadband Report 10
Typical Wireless (microwave) Capacity u u Point-to-Point, up to 150 Mbps with large antennas Wi. Fi (unlicensed service) • Mesh service 1 Mbps • Point-to-point 3 Mbps u Wi. Max (licensed and unlicensed services) • Mesh 3 -10 Mbps • Point-to-point 10 – 40 Mbps u Cellular similar to Wi. Fi (3 G) and Wi. Max (4 G) September 29, 2009 Broadband Report 11
Quality of Service u u u TCP/IP and Ethernet are “shared” “best efforts” delivery protocols Subject to abuse by “bandwidth hogs” Some applications require priority access (911) Some applications require “constant bit rate” (voice, video) Differential “classes of service” can be established September 29, 2009 Broadband Report 12
Quality of Service “Up to” means nothing on a shared network! u “Service Level Agreement” needed to specify availability u Typical constant data rates (X% of time) u Minimum guaranteed rate u Maximum burst rate u September 29, 2009 Broadband Report 13
Broadband the Public Interest u u u More than just “Internet”, or “Video” or “Triple Play” It’s Essential Information Age Infrastructure Analogous to • • • u Rivers and Canals of the 18 th Century Railroads of 19 th Century Highways and Airports of 20 th Century The means to deliver the digital content that people, business and government need to participate in the 21 st Century Information Age September 29, 2009 Broadband Report 14

Why Municipal Involvement? To Promote the Public Interest u u u Control our own destiny – ensure our competitiveness and survival Enhance Digital Equity and Inclusion Foster Competition Lower costs and provide universal service via collaborative efforts Enhance Education and occupational opportunities Drive community involvement and public services • • Public Safety Governance Affordable Health services Cultural Access September 29, 2009 Broadband Report 17
Broadband Provides Public Economic Benefits Supports area’s major economic engines (WSMR, NMSU, Spaceport) u Attractor for Tech Industry u GDP Growth (min 1 – 2% per year) u Increase in property values ($5 K+) u Green Initiative – i. e. Utility Management, Smart Grid, and Reduced Travel u September 29, 2009 Broadband Report 18
Municipal Broadband Business Models • • • Layers of Service Capital Costs Public vs. Private vs. Hybrid Public Anchor Tenancy Wholesale vs. Retail Successful Examples September 29, 2009 Broadband Report 19
Potential Models of Shared Public Service Shared infrastructure consists of: 0 Conduit and collocation facilities. 1 (Physical Layer Unbundling) Dark fiber leasing, or perhaps, Optical Layer unbundling (CWDM or DWDM in PONs) 2 (Data Link Layer Unbundling) Dark fiber and link-layer electronics at each end. For example, Ethernet-based VLAN, or ATM-based PVCs. 3 (Network Layer Unbundling) Basic network service provided. For example, IP Layer 3 service over cable using policy-based routing to multiple ISPs September 29, 2009 Broadband Report 20
Network Cost Drivers Shared “Backbone”/distribution system – typically 10 -20% of network u “Last 1000 feet” – typically 70% u • Fiber or wireless • Customer premise equipment u Core “Data Center” – 10 -15% September 29, 2009 Broadband Report 21
Fiber Network Cost Drivers u “Average” installed cost per foot • Buried: $20 - $60/ft • Arial (existing poles): $8 - $15/ft u Buried cost elements • Trenching • Conduit • Fiber • Splicing September 29, 2009 Broadband Report 22
Wireless Network Capital Mesh Network - $150 K to $250 K per square mile u Antennas may be required fro indoor reception u Point-to-Point service at $500 per site u September 29, 2009 Broadband Report 23
Potential Revenue Sources Home Video (CATV) u Telephony u Internet Access u Business Telecommunications Services u Public Services u New, Value-added services u September 29, 2009 Broadband Report 24
Municipal Broadband Network u u u Universal Service Open Access Phased Implementation Indicated • Phase 1: Fiber Core • Phase 2: Fiber Expansion to Business & Wireless POPs • Phase 3: FTTH Build-out u u Parallel Digital Divide Initiative Parallel Development of new Public Applications September 29, 2009 Broadband Report 25
Public Private Partnership u Almost always a combination, basic issue is ownership of the infrastructure • Public owned or • Franchised (including Universality and Open Access) u Public Anchor Tenancy and/or Funding required for new build September 29, 2009 Broadband Report 26
Private Model u u u “Jawbone” franchisees (Anchor Tenancy is the Carrot”) Facilitate new “Open Access” entrants on equitable basis Establish straightforward Franchise process Cooperative policy orientation: Streamline permitting and construction processes Incorporate modest “public dedication” requirements Support development of new applications September 29, 2009 Broadband Report 27
Anchor Tenancy Required for major investment u Key Municipal areas to explore u • Public Safety • Utility Management • “Internal” Telecommunications u Identify/Develop Partner Tenants September 29, 2009 Broadband Report 28
Phased Approach Possible u u u Create Useful Assets Today Continuously explore opportunities for public-private partnerships Digital Inclusion and Demonstration projects to build demand awareness “Core” backbone for Community Anchor Institutions Wireless and/or Fiber Demonstration Projects September 29, 2009 Broadband Report 29

BAC Conclusions & Recommendations September 29, 2009 Broadband Report 34
BAC Conclusions u Prepare for future opportunities • Near-term focus on “developing broadband awareness and demand” and encouraging expedited private investment in broadband infrastructure. • Plan and take actions to “create broadband infrastructure assets” today that will have increased value as population density and demand increase. • Actively seek to leverage potential ARRA and other funding sources to address the “Digital Divide” and enable enhanced public services. September 29, 2009 Broadband Report 35
Regularly Review Municipal Broadband Over Time u u u Municipal Broadband is not a “dead” concept New City assets may reduce cost of deployment New and/or Increased Demand offer opportunity for increased revenues • • u Broader public adoption (digital inclusion) Increased Electronic Public Services Smart Grid New Services Evaluate Alternate Technologies September 29, 2009 Broadband Report 36
Recommended Actions 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Develop and enunciate a Policy and commitment to the purposeful application of broadband digital communications technologies Integrate Broadband Infrastructure as major element of Strategic Planning Develop a Comprehensive Inventory of Municipal Assets which may be applicable to Broadband deployment (s) Develop a program to create leveraged “broadband” assets Add “Universal, Open-Access Broadband Service” as an element in future CATV and/or Telephone franchise negotiations Lead the creation of a Regional Broadband Initiative – a regional approach will maximize the benefits to the whole area. 7.
