The Arizona Telecom & Information Council (ATIC) recently held a Broadband Summit. This is the slide deck from the Community Broadband Workshop that I anchored and put together. Session description was "A primary strategy of the Digital Arizona Program (DAP) is to provide funding, technical assistance, and support to the four rural Councils Of Government (COGS) and/or local communities to create Broadband Planning Committees. These committees and other stakeholder groups will develop and implement plans to expedite deployment of affordable high speed broadband services to their rural communities and to enable those communities and citizens to use next generation Broadband to support 21st Century education and workforce development, create jobs and support economic and community development, enhance public safety as well as health care and government services, and connect their citizens to the world. When you attend this workshop you will learn about resources, strategies, and tools to support the development of your community plans and engagement of your community's stakeholders."

25. Colorado’s 7 A’s for Community Broadband
Northwest Colorado Local Technology Planning Team (LTPT) utilizes a formula
known as the “7 A’s” attributing it to success in improving broadband
infrastructure regionally:
1. Aggregate Experience: Establishment of Northwest Colorado LTPT;
2. Assess Local Broadband Environment: identification of single, low bandwidth middle
mile services into the Northwest Colorado as hindrance to all telecoms in the region
3. Assess Demand: multiple speed tests and surveys show much of the region to have no
broadband as defined by FCC ( 4 Mbps down 1 Mbps up)
4. Aggregate Demand: The LTPT has conducted a number of surveys with local service
providers and determined that total demand by local service providers and community
anchor institutions is at least 3 gigabits per second (Gbps).
5. Aggregate Resources: a) local funding as organized via Northwest Colorado Council of
Governments and Steamboat Springs Chamber of Commerce b) low-cost local tower sites
c) use disruptive technologies including microwave d) creation of carrier neutral locations
(CNL) in Steamboat Springs and Craig e) explore availability of dark fiber: Rifle to
Steamboat Springs F) fiber conduit in Steamboat Springs
6. Aggregate Solutions: a) Phase I: microwave path from fiber point of presence in Fraser
to Steamboat Springs, b) Phase II: fiber route from fiber point of presence in Rifle to Craig
7. Aggregate Sustainability: a) Local service providers build middle mile that is redundant,
abundant and affordable b) middle mile project is locally funded and operated c) elected
officials hope to see this model replicated throughout the Northwest Colorado

Sustainably Funded Mechanism(s) for Acceleration of
Digital Capacity Build-out
Provide Long-range State-wide Planning and Leadership
as well as Continuing Community Support
Arizona Telecommunications and Information Council
47. ASET DAP Highway Conduit Initiative
Primary Approach: Deploy conduit along state highways and rural
frontage roads to be leased to providers at cost to facilitate availability
of fiber Internet middle-mile capacity to support providers’ investments
in more and faster services for rural Arizona.
Trenching + Conduits ≈ Very low cost when road bed under
construction or repair.
Passed Arizona Digital Highways Law SB1402 to support this.
Potential Funding Sources:
•No funding in the Digital Highways Law itself
•Some seed funding from existing grants
•Leased conduit can be recycled to pay for additional capacity
•Provider investment under discussion
•State-wide eRate facilitation could provide funding from gain sharing
•Possible shared funding with Public Safety Broadband (FirstNet)

57. Possible Digital Arizona Program Funding Model
Source: Mike Keeling, Data Site Consortium 2012
Arizona Telecommunications and Information Council
58. Possible Digital Arizona Program Funding
An implementation and funding model is being developed in which the State of
Arizona could implement the Digital Arizona Highways Act of 2012 (SB 1402).
This model incorporates funds from eRate programs, State educational
investments, broadband provider investment, public safety broadband, and
other possible sources of funds.
The model can provide recurring revenue to rural Arizona broadband providers
who in-turn could utilize a portion of the funds for procuring fiber conduits
and/or towers along Arizona roadways in close proximity to key rural broadband
users. In return, the providers obtain long-term leases of the conduit and towers
of interest to each of them which they are free to utilize the leases in any manner
that is commercially viable with some selling broadband services directly to
users while others concentrate on wholesale services to the retail providers.
Additionally, within the above public-private partnership constructs, ASET is
exploring financing means including securitizing the leases, tax-advantaged
bonding, and closer planning and funding efforts with user educational, medical-
services and economic-development stakeholders. The goal is to allow market
forces to drive the expansion of retail and wholesale digital capacity throughout
rural Arizona over time.

59. Microsoft/Arnold Group Economic Impact Model
Arizona Telecommunications and Information Institute (ATI Institute)
partnered with Microsoft Corporation and their Shape the Future team on a
Digital Inclusion Economic Impact Model for Arizona which was executed by
Microsoft’s partner The Arnold Group at no cost to ATI Institute or the State.
The model is designed to measure the economic impact of Digital Inclusion
initiatives and the cost of Digital Exclusion. It has been performed across
the U.S. in five states and seven cities to date.
The model's target segment consists of disadvantaged school-age children
and their families as this group has the greatest long-term effect for the
realization of the benefits. Arizona modeling results indicate that students
with a home PC and broadband access increase their chance of graduating
from High School by 6-8 percentage points and experience an average
increase of $1.2M in additional economic and social impact over their
lifetime. The affected individuals will also have more employment
opportunities benefiting from significant lifetime creation of jobs. By
targeting students in poverty, over $32.4 billion in total lifetime economic
and social impact can potentially be realized.
Arizona Telecommunications and Information Council
62. Arizona Economic Impact Model Key Parameters
ASET and Data Site Consortium are currently investigating extension of
the Microsoft/Arnold Group model to project the more general economic
development impact of expanding Digital Inclusion on Arizona
communities including employment levels and job quality, business
attractiveness, and economic growth rates.
