Broadband Policy Workshop Mankato
The document discusses broadband internet access in Minnesota, including the current state and goals for improvement. It provides statistics showing that 52.3% of rural residents and 57.8% statewide have broadband access, while availability is lower in more remote areas. The task force is considering how to expand access through various public-private partnership models and incentives to make high-speed, affordable broadband as ubiquitous as possible across Minnesota. Stakeholder input is sought on priorities and strategies to work towards this goal.
Farm Fresh Broadband
This document summarizes the background and key arguments of a book analyzing federal and state policies regarding subsidization, deployment, and regulation of broadband in rural communities. The author is an Associate Professor who researched the topic through a policy analysis of over 10,000 pages of documents, 90 interviews, and site visits. The book argues that rural broadband policy is both incomplete and broken, failing to bring affordable, high-speed broadband to rural areas due to regulatory capture and prioritizing large internet providers. It also highlights some local success stories of communities connecting themselves with the help of cooperatives or local ISPs. The conclusions call for a national rural broadband plan, recognizing the importance of local broadband, and ensuring history does not repeat itself in
Broadband in Southeast MN 2021 survey
This document summarizes responses from counties, cities, and townships in southeast Minnesota about broadband access and issues in their areas. Availability of service is lacking in many rural areas. Even where service exists, functionality is often insufficient for tasks like remote work and schooling due to slow speeds and unreliable connections. Respondents cited high costs, challenging terrain, and low population density as barriers to improving or expanding service. Most rely on internet providers to make upgrades but have limited ability to influence them. Funding sources for improvements include grants, ARPA funds, and partnerships between jurisdictions and providers. Addressing equity of access and affordability were also raised as ongoing issues.
Broadband Best Practices In Rural Mn 102009
This document summarizes best practices for broadband deployment discussed at a webinar. It discusses:
1) Partnering with schools and other institutions to build fiber networks and stimulate competitive responses from broadband providers.
2) Building community fiber rings to connect institutions and deploying wireless to serve entire areas.
3) Partnering across counties to add redundancy and value through high-capacity fiber networks.
4) Emerging projects to extend city networks to rural communities and build countywide fiber networks.
Broadband in se mn 2021 survey
This document summarizes responses from counties, cities, and townships in southeast Minnesota about broadband access and issues in their areas. Availability of service is a major concern, with many rural areas having little to no access. Even areas with coverage often have unreliable or insufficient service that does not meet needs like remote work and school. Respondents are working with local providers and using grants to improve access, but barriers like terrain and funding make expansion difficult. Overall, the survey finds widespread gaps in broadband access across the region that impact residents' lives.
Expanding the Impact with Cooperation
This document discusses potential partnerships between rural telecommunications cooperatives (RLECs) and electric/municipal utilities to expand broadband access in rural America. It notes that RLECs serve a small portion of the US population over a large land area, while many rural areas lack broadband access. Partnerships could help RLECs and utilities share costs and skills to deploy broadband in new areas, comply with regulations, and pursue new revenue streams, taking various forms like marketing agreements, joint ventures, or vendor relationships. Successful partnerships require understanding each other's needs and assets without overbuilding existing networks.

Broadband Around the World final
This document summarizes business models that municipalities can pursue to improve broadband access, including maintaining the status quo, private ownership, and publicly owned networks. It describes how municipalities sometimes leverage their roles as users, rule-makers, financiers, infrastructure developers, and operators to negotiate with private internet service providers or build their own networks. The document provides examples of municipalities that have successfully worked with companies like Google and AT&T or taken on network ownership themselves to bring faster, more affordable broadband to their communities.

Gsam course principles of internet governance final project feb 2017
Honduras has a population of over 8 million people but internet access remains limited, with only 5.35% having fixed-line access and mobile internet penetration reaching 1.46 million users. The government has installed over 2,500 public WiFi hotspots in schools and parks nationwide. Moving forward, increasing mobile coverage, the number of internet users, and use of online education and government services are priorities. The government can promote investment in rural networks through tax breaks and spectrum auctions. Establishing more internet exchange points would allow cheaper access to local content. The GSMA course taught the importance of balanced stakeholder participation and cooperation to foster sustainable internet development.

rural_broadband_satellite_wireless-final
The document discusses the current state of broadband access in rural areas and argues that continuing subsidies are no longer needed. It summarizes that:
1) According to the National Broadband Map, over 99.9% of Americans have access to broadband speeds of at least 3 Mbps via technologies like 4G wireless, satellite, or DSL over existing copper lines.
2) Competition in rural broadband access has increased dramatically with wireless and satellite providing viable alternatives to wired services.
3) Continuing subsidies through programs like the Connect America Fund undermines incentives for unsubsidized providers to invest and risks reducing access over time by propping up higher-cost options.
MN County Broadband Profiles
This document profiles the broadband coverage and efforts in 5 Minnesota counties - Lincoln, Otter Tail, Kanabec, Pope, and St. Louis. For each county it provides information on their current broadband ranking, coverage percentages for underserved and unserved areas, access to speeds of 100/20 Mbps, community and provider broadband efforts, and current broadband providers. The largest providers receiving state grants and federal CAF funding are also listed for each county.
Wireless Infrastructure in India
- India has a large potential addressable market for wireless infrastructure given its population of over 1.1 billion people, but fixed line connections and broadband penetration is currently low.
- Wireless technologies are poised to enable much broader connectivity in India by overcoming challenges with rolling out wired last mile infrastructure, with costs of wired broadband being high.
- Factors like available spectrum, standardization, infrastructure sharing policies, and development of relevant applications are enabling the growth of wireless broadband which is projected to grow substantially over the next few years and potentially become the dominant form of broadband connectivity in India.

Jack Geller on Broadband Adoption in Minnesota
The document discusses shifting the focus from broadband adoption to utilization as adoption rates level off. It notes that 73% of businesses subscribe to broadband, the same as in 2010. As mobile internet grows, with 88% of Americans having cell phones and increasing smartphone adoption, it may serve as an "equalizer" for underserved groups. However, data caps and speeds remain barriers, especially in greater Minnesota. The document concludes that further adoption gains will be limited and that mobile broadband should be recognized and integrated into access strategies.

Big Broadband: Public Infrastructure or Private Monopolies
This paper contrasts the different incentives of incumbent ISPs, municipalities and other stakeholders, suggesting that the cost of extending fiber closer to premises is high enough to cause IPSs to cherry pick the most profitable customers, leaving others to fend for themselves. That’s where public broadband comes in, but the politics can pose obstacles for municipalities that want their own networks, so this paper also includes a section explaining the fears of various stakeholders.
