For the first time, and while not required by statute, a section on the Water/Wastewater industry is included in this Report in response to concerns raised during the most recent session of the legislature. While each industry has unique issues, several issues discussed in this Report cut across multiple industries. This Executive Summary contains a brief overview of these cross-industry and industry-specific issues which are more fully addressed in the body of the Report. For your convenience there is a list of acronyms and a glossary in the back of the Report. CROSS-INDUSTRY ISSUES Aging infrastructure is a concern for many Indiana utilities. The Electric, Gas, and Water/Wastewater sections of this Report specifically discuss aging infrastructure and the potential problems and costs associated with repairing or replacing old facilities. Coupled with aging facilities is increasing consumer demand for electric, gas, telecommunications, and water services. Increased consumer demand can accelerate the deterioration of equipment and limit periods in which facilities can be conveniently removed from service for maintenance or replacement.

This is because the normal deadline of September 30 falls on a Sunday this year.

The Commission has recognized the need for limited waivers of the electronic filing requirement in light of the “burden that electronic filing could place upon some [entities] who are seeking to serve the public interest, with limited resources, and succeed in a highly competitive local environment.” Streamlining Order, 13 FCC Rcd 23061. However, such waivers will not be routinely granted and the applicant must plead with particularity the facts and circumstances warranting relief. Similar to prior years, selected Multi-Channel Video Programming Distributors (“MVPDs”) will be required to fill out portions of the Supplemental Investigation Sheet (“SIS”) at the end of the form. MVPDs, when they attempt to file Form 396-C electronically, will see a box on page one of the electronic version of the form next to the statement “Supplemental Investigation Sheet attached.” If the box is not checked, this means the filer does not need to file the SIS this year.

  • Blair Levin and Denise Linn a Guide for Community Leaders Seeking
    THE NEXT GENERATION NETWORK CONNECTIVITY HANDBOOK A Guide for Community Leaders Seeking Affordable, Abundant Bandwidth Vol 2.0 December 2016 Blair Levin and Denise Linn Gig.U: The Next Generation Network Innovation Project Published by the Benton Foundation 2 Dedication This Handbook is dedicated to the hundreds of city and university officials, particularly participants in Gig.U, who over the last five years, as we explored many routes, helped guide us to significant course corrections and created the map for community-led broadband. It is also dedicated to the thousands of citizens who attended scores of meetings with us on community-led broadband, in cities large and small, in every part of the country, and who provided many insights we incorporated into our work and into this Handbook. Many of their words were wise, but none were wiser than those offered by a student at an event at the University of Maine, who, after noting all the specific reasons he was excited about having access to abundant bandwidth then said, “But what is most exciting is what we don’t yet know.” It is further dedicated to the memory of Charles Benton, a wonderful friend and coach to the Gig.U project, and many others seeking to improve the capacity of communications networks to serve all. His energy and excitement about discovering ‘what we don’t yet know’ served, and will continue to serve, as the most important type of fuel for the work of bringing affordable, abundant bandwidth to our communities. 3 Contents About this Handbook 5 What are the Funding Issues

The failure strength or envelope of carbon nanotube systems under this type of loading is significantly different from what occurs under uniaxial tensile loading and, importantly, is different from the predictions of failure criteria for macroscopic objects. The failure criteria developed here can be used to design carbon nanotube-based devices and materials, such as nanoelectromechanical systems and nanocomposites, which undergo biaxial tensile–torsional loading. (Some figures in this article are in colour only in the electronic version) 1. Introduction biaxial tensile and torsional loading, especially concerning the details of failure responses or failure criteria. The unique electrical and mechanical properties of carbon When stress is applied to a part in a uniaxial manner, nanotubes (CNTs) have attracted considerable interest and stress and strength can be compared directly to estimate sparked discussion of their potential use in applications such whether or not the part will fail.
