Creating Advanced Telecommunications In Your Community Continued from page 1 local communities can participate in the economic prosperity made possible by an advanced telecommunica- tions system. Depending on local market conditions, this could be accomplished by pursuing one of four involve- ment models for a public telecommunications business. 1. Deploy a Fiber Backbone: A fiber backbone can connect key local business and support inter-facility communication for the community. In addition, capacity and/or dark-fiber can be leased to businesses, schools, and other large telecommunication users. This involvement model may provide new revenues and save operational costs while advancing services to select locations. Although this involvement model does not address the “last-mile1 ” infrastructure connection or services to small businesses and residences, it may be sufficient to spark private involvement. 2. Lease Infrastructure: This involves offering residential and small business services by leasing the “last-mile” connection from the incumbent telephone company. In conjunction with the first involvement model, the existing copper telephone infrastructure can be leveraged by locating equipment at the local telephone office, enabling delivery of advanced services via Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) technology. If the incumbent telephone company provides a well-maintained “last-mile” copper infrastructure, DSL technology can support delivery of services such as high-speed Internet, telephone, and video. However, this involvement model does not advance the “last-mile” infrastructure in the community. 3. Overbuild of Existing Providers: To accomplish this, deploy a Hybrid Fiber-Coax (HFC) or similar network2 that serves the small business and residential market. In conjunction with the first involvement model, an HFC or similar network advances the base infrastructure and enables advanced services to be offered to all telecommuni- cation users. This model may have limits on its ability to support lifeline telephone services and expanding data needs, however it has a proven record of success in an overbuilt market. A HFC or similar network can deliver services such as high-speed Internet, telephone, and video. 4. Provide an Open Access Infrastructure: This model constructs a fiber infrastructure that connects all businesses and residences. With some Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH) technologies, open access transport services3 to any interested CATV, telephone, and Internet provider can be supported. The involvement model is quite similar to building and maintaining roads in a community. This “fiber-highway” facilitates new services by reducing the market entry costs for new and existing telecommunication providers. Since this model pushes the edge of technology and brings a new business structure to telecommunications, it may require financing methods similar to building new roads and sewer systems. This model addresses the advancement of the telecommunication infrastructure and facilitates involvement from the private sector to offer the particular services. Which Model is Appropriate for Your Community? Since each community has unique conditions, goals and objectives, an optimal model for one community may not be appropriate for the next. Determination of the appropriate involvement model requires a review of the incumbent providers, their services, prices, and future plans, as well as a review of the community’s financial stability and risk tolerance. In addition, it is important to understand the wants and needs of the community’s schools, businesses, residents and other telecommunication users. Although uncertainty will exist, one point remains constant: the community can play a crucial role in moving telecommuni- cations services and infrastructure capabilities forward. Early planning can help identify which avenue and subsequent involvement model is appropriate for your community. 1 Portion of network that serves residences and small businesses. Often the “last-mile” infrastructure limits a provider’s ability to offer advanced telecommunication services such as high-speed Internet. 2 Includes wireless networks that support advanced telecommunications services. 3 Allows the private and/or public sectors to use network to deliver voice, data, and video services. 5PDF Image | Utility Lines Creating Advanced Telecommunications In Your Community: Where to Begin
