McIntyre, City Manager SUBJECT: Broadband Presentation and Broadband Infrastructure Policy Workshop SUMMARY The receipt of vastly differing responses to the City's Broadband Infrastructure Request for Proposals has raised important policy questions. Staff has outlined policy questions and is seeking Council feedback. Staff will use the feedback provided by Council to refine the next Council recommended action and the firm best suited to meet the broadband needs of the community. RECOMMENDATION a. Receive a presentation from Digital West Networks and SiFi Networks America for the City's Broadband Infrastructure Project. b. Hold a broadband infrastructure policy workshop and provide comments regarding policy considerations that may influence the City's investment in broadband infrastructure. DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS Economic Development Committee Review The Economic Development Committee (EDC) had two opportunities for discussion and to provide direction on Staff's effort to collaborate with private investment firms to create a fiber optic network in the City. The EDC provided comments and direction on the Broadband Infrastructure RFP to include a desire for a City-Wide fiber to premises network, minimal disruption to Public Works, private funding, indemnification requirements, no cost to the City and become revenue generating. The EDC met a second time to hear presentations from the three firms that submitted proposals and Broadband Presentation and Broadband Infrastructure Policy Workshop September 9, 2019 Page 2 of 6 recommended that the firms that will leverage private investment present their proposals to the Council for policy consideration. Broadband Infrastructure Policy Considerations: City Council directed staff to collaborate with private investment firms to create a fiber optic network in the City. To support this direction, staff developed a Broadband Infrastructure Request for Proposal to identify private firms and strategies to fund and implement a citywide broadband network. The City's Broadband Infrastructure RFP resulted in three very different proposals and suggested approaches in developing Broadband Infrastructure. Given these vast differences, staff has outlined additional policy questions that require Council feedback to adequately evaluate proposals. Once clarified, staff will return to Council with a recommended firm and the associated agreement. Policy Questions • Should time required to implement proposed solution be a critical factor? Staff recognizes that the speed of deployment of broadband technologies is an important characteristic in each proposal's evaluation. What is Council's time horizon in delivering broadband services to the community? Does the Council expect a complete solution in delivering services or a phased approach in accomplishing the objectives? • Should the approach installing fiber be a critical factor? There are a variety of infrastructure solutions to provide broadband services to the community including wireless, underground fiber, and aerial fiber. What is the Council's preference? • Is internet service speed a critical factor? The speed at which an Internet Service Provider (ISP) can deliver services will play a critical role in user migration to a proposed network. Currently, Spectrum advertises download speeds in excess of 1000 Mbps while AT&T advertises speeds of 75 Mbps. While these may be sufficient download speeds, the concern is that the speeds are not symmetrical, which means that the upload speeds do not match the download speeds. Symmetrical speeds are critical as cloud computing has driven the need for real time cloud-based applications that require additional bandwidth, both in download speed and upload speed. How critical is it that the proposed network offers symmetrical speeds? Broadband Presentation and Broadband Infrastructure Policy Workshop September 9, 2019 Page 3 of 6 • After installation is completed, does ownership of the network matter? There are several different ownership models of fiber infrastructure, from a city having no ownership of the fiber to a city owning and maintaining the entire network. Does the Council want the City to have an ownership stake in fiber infrastructure? • Shall the ownership of the fiber provide exclusivity of use? Currently, Spectrum and AT&T own infrastructure and provide their own internet services to customers in the City of Ventura. There are other models where one entity owns infrastructure and then leases the use of this infrastructure to ISPs to provide internet services to the community. Another ownership model allows the owner of the asset to provide internet services and lease the use of the infrastructure to other ISPs. What ownership model does Council prefer? • Shall the City provide any funding or City assets into the development of the fiber network? Is Council willing to contribute funds to support broadband infrastructure or is the expectation that the projects be completely funded through private . sources? How important is the sources of funding for the proposed broadband infrastructure project? • Should the fiber network generate any revenue to the City? How important is the revenue generating component of this project? Would Council prefer a delayed full deployment of broadband infrastructure in the City for the potential of revenue earlier on, or does the need for immediate broadband services outweigh the need for additional revenue? Policy Consideration Comparison Matrix 2 years from commencement of construction Broadband Presentation and Broadband Infrastructure Policy Workshop September 9, 2019 Page 4 of 6 Combination of buried 100% fiber installed and aerial fiber will be underground utilizing used to build the micro trenching backbone network technology Will use the method with the lowest cost for final laterals to home or office and will deploy a "wireless first" approach Commercial: Commercial: 200 Mbps-10 Gbps 100 Mbps-100 Gbps Symmetrical Speeds Symmetrical Speeds Residential: Residential: Fiber: Symmetrical Fiber- 2.5 Gbps Speeds 1 Gbps Download and 1.25 Wireless: 20-50 Mbps Gbps Upload speeds Download and 10-20 Mbps upload speeds City will own 48 strands All fiber will be owned of fiber supporting the by Sifi or their affiliates City's traffic signal network and the associated conduit Newly installed conduit and fiber will be owned by Digital West Digital West will provide SiFi will allow several services and allow any ISPs to provide licensed ISP to services over the wholesale fiber services network and circuits Broadband Presentation and Broadband Infrastructure Policy Workshop September 9, 2019 Page 5 of 6 All viable existing City All viable existing City assets will be assets will be considered considered Funding Source would Whitehelm Capital not be provided without would fund project in a mutual NOA full before construction (letter from Whitehelm was included as an attachment Provided the City with 3 No direct financial funding options, option 1 contribution required by would not require any the City direct financial contribution from the City Will assess a 5% fee Revenue share with 3% that will be assessed to of total revenues all internet customers beginning in year 30 and remitted to the City on a quarterly basis beginning immediately Impact to the City's Unfunded Traffic Signal Project On May 13, 2019, Council authorized the Mayor to execute an agreement to finalize the design of the City's unfunded Traffic Signal System Upgrade Project. Fiber communication lines to support this upgrade are a major component and estimated to cost upwards of $4,000,000. Proposals from SiFi and Digital West include an attempt to mitigate the $4,000,000 expense. Digital West proposes to install all the fiber to support this project and allow the City to maintain the ownership of the existing conduit and new fiber. Si Fi proposes to install all the fiber necessary to support the project and then charge the City a "nominal rate per month", this fee would be negotiated prior to installation.

  • Hacking the Master Switch? the Role of Infrastructure in Google's
    Hacking the Master Switch? The Role of Infrastructure in Google’s Network Neutrality Strategy in the 2000s by John Harris Stevenson A thesis submitteD in conformity with the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Information University of Toronto © Copyright by John Harris Stevenson 2017 Hacking the Master Switch? The Role of Infrastructure in Google’s Network Neutrality Strategy in the 2000s John Harris Stevenson Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Information University of Toronto 2017 Abstract During most of the decade of the 2000s, global Internet company Google Inc. was one of the most prominent public champions of the notion of network neutrality, the network design principle conceived by Tim Wu that all Internet traffic should be treated equally by network operators. However, in 2010, following a series of joint policy statements on network neutrality with telecommunications giant Verizon, Google fell nearly silent on the issue, despite Wu arguing that a neutral Internet was vital to Google’s survival. During this period, Google engaged in a massive expansion of its services and technical infrastructure. My research examines the influence of Google’s systems and service offerings on the company’s approach to network neutrality policy making. Drawing on documentary evidence and network analysis data, I identify Google’s global proprietary networks and server locations worldwide, including over 1500 Google edge caching servers located at Internet service providers. ii I argue that the affordances provided by its systems allowed Google to mitigate potential retail and transit ISP gatekeeping. Drawing on the work of Latour and Callon in Actor– network theory, I posit the existence of at least one actor-network formed among Google and ISPs, centred on an interest in the utility of Google’s edge caching servers and the success of the Android operating system.

  • Interconnection
    Interconnection 101 As cloud usage takes off, data production grows exponentially, content pushes closer to the edge, and end users demand data and applications at all hours from all locations, the ability to connect with a wide variety of players becomes ever more important. This report introduces interconnection, its key players and busi- ness models, and trends that could affect interconnection going forward. KEY FINDINGS Network-dense, interconnection-oriented facilities are not easy to replicate and are typically able to charge higher prices for colocation, as well as charging for cross-connects and, in some cases, access to public Internet exchange platforms and cloud platforms. Competition is increasing, however, and competitors are starting the long process of creating network-dense sites. At the same time, these sites are valuable and are being acquired, so the sector is consolidating. Having facili- ties in multiple markets does seem to provide some competitive advantage, particularly if the facilities are similar in look and feel and customers can monitor them all from a single portal and have them on the same contract. Mobility, the Internet of Things, services such as SaaS and IaaS (cloud), and content delivery all depend on net- work performance. In many cases, a key way to improve network performance is to push content, processing and peering closer to the edge of the Internet. This is likely to drive demand for facilities in smaller markets that offer interconnection options. We also see these trends continuing to drive demand for interconnection facilities in the larger markets as well. © 2015 451 RESEARCH, LLC AND/OR ITS AFFILIATES.

A thesis submitted for the degree of PhD ROHAN KARIYAWASAM Queen Mary College University of London ABSTRACT The failure of the trade negotiations at Seattle, and the collapse of the negotiations at Doha have bought increased attention to the issue of development, aid, and the implementation of special and differential rights in favour of developing countries. This thesis looks to examine one aspect of the many issues facing developed and developing countries in the negotiations that lie ahead, specifically how international economic law can be used in the application of technological processes to help address the Digital Divide. At present, there is an emphasis on development and the needs of developing countries, and that such development needs to be sustainable. Research reviewed in Chapter 2 indicates that growing information technology levels leads to growth of GDP. Importantly the use of ICT‘s will foster growth in the trade of electronic goods and services (electronic intangibles).
