Rural Communications Options? 1. Status Quo 2. Preferred Partnership 3. Utility Communications 11

Status Quo Municipality allows market forces to provide broadband coverage. Multiple Wireless Internet Service Providers (WISPs) competing for market share. Advantages: - No additional municipal resources are required - No capital investment required by the municipality Disadvantages: - WISPs will provide services only in the higher density areas - Network design will be based on providing basic connectivity - May not meet the capacity requirements of the residents & businesses 12

Preferred Partner Municipality selects and funds a single Wireless Internet Service Provider (WISP) to provide broadband coverage. Advantages: - Improves wireless provider s overall cash flow - Provides basic broadband connectivity - Potential to set minimum download/upload speeds Disadvantages: - Reduces market forces in rural areas - Does not support mobility and public safety coverage 13

Utility Communications Municipality recognizes that rural communications is a utility and uses capital funding to design/build a utility grade network. Advantages: - Provides broadband, mobility, and public safety coverage - Improves wireless provider s overall cash flow - Enhances market forces in all areas - Collocation revenues subsidize operating costs - Municipality controls which areas get priority - 20-30 year municipal asset Disadvantages: - More complex implementation - Requires ongoing resources to work with partners 14

Parkland County Strategy Goal Use information communication technology for community and economic development Objective Reliable, reasonably-priced, high speed broadband to >90% of the residents and businesses Strategy Develop infrastructure to help rural service providers improve connectivity and capacity for residents & businesses 15
