7. Problem to be Solved
Greatly expand the numbers of users of laptops, tablets and smartphones, and provide a modern,
current-technology voice/data/streaming video carrier-neutral infrastructure in rural areas.
Greatly expand digital literacy training to members of the community, so that they may be able to
access eGovernment services, library resources, job training,distance learning, eCommerce,and for all
other uses in a modern society.
Make sure that the project area generates revenue so as to show a profit for investors.
8. Competitors
We are the only for-profit company that is addressing this sector on a national scale and thus, we have
no actual competitors.
That said, until such time as the infrastructure is built out, the existing providers may view us as
competitors because of their existing infrastructure. Our consultants advise us, however, that the
result is that the providers, both existing and new entries, immediately begin using the new
infrastructure, including by switching their customers onto the system. Thus, revenue generation
begins immediately.
9. Target Market
The target market consists of all business-to-business voice/data/streaming video providers in the
area, as well as any newcomers.
The sub-market consists of end users, that is, businesses and residents, who will be targeted by our
company's marketing professionals as well as by the providers.
An additional market consists of ancillary infrastructure customers who need more secure private
signal capacity, or more media reach.
10. Customers
The systems as built out are for providers of voice/data/ streaming video, as well as for radio and also
private companies who need a more secure and higher speed data/ streaming video connection.
The provider customer base is a total replacement market across the entire project areas, since this is
a project that replaces outdated technology.
In addition, the customer base will include the remaining areas where there is none or very weak
signal.
11. Business Model
Post-build, revenue stream comes from the company’s revenue based upon user fees from providers
and other users utilizing the system.
This opportunity is organized for a very lucrative long-term stream of income project.
In most instances, the infrastructure becomes a 40-year asset, with depreciation and expansion to
other co-location regions.
12. Competitive Advantage
Our solution is unique because we are not providers of any voice/data/streaming video services.
Thus, we are not restricted by our shareholders in building a carrier-neutral infrastructure which, once
built, all providers will use.
