This document summarizes the challenges and lessons learned from setting up a community broadband network in the rural area of Alston, United Kingdom. It discusses the paperwork, permissions, and bureaucracy required, which included licenses for contractors, permissions to dig trenches and install equipment, and dealing with various regulatory bodies. Engaging with the local community was also challenging, as some residents depended on high-speed broadband while others refused permission to install equipment on their land. The document recommends getting all planning and permissions in order before starting, expecting challenges from authorities not used to working with community groups, collaborating closely with landowners, and being persistent despite difficulties.

Busting broadband myths
The document summarizes and rebuts several myths about broadband expansion efforts in Minnesota. It argues that (1) while industry has invested, more public funding is still needed to connect everyone; (2) federal funds through programs like CAF2 will not be enough, and will rely on outdated infrastructure; and (3) wireless and satellite options are not sufficient replacements for fiber networks, which provide more bandwidth and reliability into the future. The document aims to show more comprehensive broadband access in rural Minnesota is both necessary and cost-effective.
Rural broadband - what can i do to live a modern digital life in the UK count...
1) Rural broadband connectivity is being transformed by new technologies like mobile networks and satellites, but these options still have limitations for many applications.
2) Government programs like BDUK are working to expand "superfast" broadband access to 95% of the country, but the most rural 5% remain problematic to reach affordably.
3) For communities struggling with poor connectivity, options include campaigning local authorities to prioritize their area, exploring alternative providers using wireless networks, or organizing community self-help projects to develop their own infrastructure.
Supporting tenants across rural landscapes - Sam Stronach, Cottsway Housing
This document discusses initiatives taken by Cottsway, a housing provider in rural West Oxfordshire, to address digital exclusion among its predominantly older resident population spread across 275 square miles. It outlines barriers to digital inclusion such as lack of access, skills, and confidence. Cottsway obtained funding to provide online and device training through different platforms and one-on-one or group sessions. Case studies highlight positive impacts for residents who gained online knowledge and confidence. The document suggests actions organizations can take and notes benefits including efficiencies for Cottsway and improved education, employment, savings, and welfare for residents.
Service Provider Models using the NBN
Talk for Commsday Congress Melbourne 2013 (9th October 2013). A talk about business models other than the Internet could be established based on the NBN.
Becoming Tech-Savvy: How Supplier Partners Can Add Value through Technology
The document discusses the concept of Web 2.0 and how it is difficult to define. While Web 1.0 focused on connecting people, Web 2.0 builds on that by allowing user-generated content through things like blogs and wikis. However, even the creator of the Web cautions against rigidly defining Web 2.0. It is best understood as an attitude rather than a technology, focusing on harnessing collective intelligence through services that scale cost-effectively based on user contributions that enrich shared data sources.
IoT is coming - now what?
This document discusses strategies for the Internet of Things (IoT). It summarizes three laws (Moore's law, Koomey's law, and Metcalfe's law) that drive development of the IoT by increasing viability, feasibility, and providing incentives. It notes that while services attached to devices are important, the "smarts" should be placed carefully and connectivity alone shouldn't be sold - instead, a product solving problems from the start is key. The core logic of the Internet follows a power law distribution, unlike the normal distribution of the past.
Bob Frankston's presentation at eComm 2008
The document discusses the opportunities available by moving away from a telecom-centric view of connectivity and embracing an approach focused on networking and the sharing of infrastructure. Key points made include:
1) Networking is something we do and we can use any means available to innovate, unlike the telecom model which focuses on predefined networks and services.
2) Abundant connectivity is possible if we are not constrained by the past and recognize that bits have no intrinsic scarcity or value assigned by providers.
3) The telecom model aims to monetize networks and bits but this is inherently dysfunctional since the internet is based on abundance and costs are effectively zero.
4) We should focus
Coworking becoming a company platform
Login is a tech coworking space in Milan that aims to create an independent yet interconnected community for collaboration. It provides streets, squares, and buildings for people to access infrastructure and components without intermediaries. The space aims to move away from a hierarchical structure and instead form an egalitarian circular structure where individuals are at the center and can work flexibly from anywhere while sharing knowledge on their own schedule and technology.

Pursuing Broadband Partnerships - Woodstock
Woodstock Communications, a small telecommunications company in southwest Minnesota, has pursued partnerships with rural communities to expand broadband access through fiber networks. They worked with Westbrook and Balaton in 2016-2018, educating local leaders and residents about the benefits of fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) and building trust. This involved community surveys, meetings, and temporary office space. Over 70% of Westbrook residents now have fiber access. Additional services like wireless broadband have expanded coverage beyond the towns. Woodstock has similarly partnered with Pipestone County to build wireless networks where fiber was not feasible.
How to stop and apocalypse with second hand laptops and Open Source Software.
This document summarizes how open source software and mobile payment systems were used to help coordinate the Ebola response in Sierra Leone. It describes how second hand laptops and open source software like Open ERP were used to build management information systems and digital payment systems that helped overcome challenges like lack of infrastructure, corruption, and ensuring workers were paid reliably. Over 3,000 duplicate worker records were removed, while over 200 fraudulent or double dipping workers were reported. The systems helped digitally pay over 21,000 Ebola response workers in Sierra Leone, demonstrating how open source solutions can be effectively deployed in limited resource environments.
LeabrookHouse-case-study
Leabrook House Nursing Home needed to improve wireless connectivity across its two sites to better serve residents and staff. The previous provider was unable to ensure reliable internet access. Icomm Technologies conducted a site survey and installed high performance wireless access points and a managed firewall. This provided 100% WiFi coverage, allowing residents to stay connected and improving their well-being. It also enabled efficient operations for staff across sites. The nursing home now has faultless connectivity and is satisfied with Icomm's service.
The Revolution Around the Corner at next12
The document discusses how the Internet of Things is changing everything again by connecting billions of devices together through the internet. It notes that by 2020 there will be over 50 billion internet connected devices and over 6 internet connected devices per person on average. These internet connected devices, powered by advances like Moore's Law, will transform homes and everyday objects into "smart" devices that are part of a global network.
Graham Bennett LightSpeed Derby
Derby is not one of the 10 "super-connected cities" or 8 "Core cities" in the UK. However, Derby aims to become an "Ultra-Connected Smart City" through several initiatives. First, Derby is building a core network connecting public agencies, businesses, and developments. Second, the Osmaston vision will create homes, businesses, and community services while also implementing superfast broadband and sensors. Third, Smart Derby City plans to expand these approaches city-wide and link to smart transport. These initiatives could position Derby as a leader in using data and technology to manage resources, jobs, and public services effectively.
Cbeyond: Cloud Services for the SMB
Has Cloud crossed the chasm of adoption? How can you tell? This presentation starts to explore what services are required for true adoption of Cloud (hint: last mile services for Cloud) and how Cbeyond is leading this.
TheWHIR presentation
The document discusses the importance of protecting the open internet and preventing overregulation. It summarizes that the internet is made up of people and small businesses that are changing the world for the better through platforms like Wikipedia, Khan Academy, and Kiva. However, legislation like SOPA, PIPA, and others threaten the open internet. The author discusses forming a coalition of internet infrastructure companies to educate legislators and the public about how the internet works in order to prevent crushing regulation and protect continued innovation.

C2 0 increase impact through tech sep11v4
Communities 2.0 helps community groups and social enterprises benefit from technology. With government funding until April 2015, they cover topics like managing information digitally, social media engagement, cloud computing tools, and online office suites to help organizations reduce costs and reach more people. As public services move online and funding decreases, non-profits need to think about becoming "digital by default" to remain efficient and effective in their work.

Smart city ltd
The presentation shows the parallel between service development in a company and a smart city. It points out the services not the technology's sake but should be developed for the people.If one involves the crowd, then you get not only loyal customers or user, but also people engaged to improve the service.The infrastructure is key. It should be user by a city to deliver core services. The infrastructure should be made openly accessible private companies so that they can provide more smart services.
Due to cloud services and over the top telecom services business models will change for investors. That means that because of decentralized services, local investment is not rewarded by a return like it used to be in old days.
The access networks no longer can be funded by delivering traditional telecom services.But everyone needs in the future more than ever a quick access to the Clouds. Smart City services in contrast will mostly be locally produced and rewarded. In a summary this means, that Cities should step in building the basis network infrastructure and focussing on delivering smart services for the citicens. In the mean time due to the importance of a powerful internet access, the prices for Internet access will probably raise in future. Owning the Infrastructure means holding a keyrole in the city..

Fine fixer pitch
This document discusses the problem of young people in Australia receiving fines for traffic or parking infringements but not knowing how to handle the situation. It notes that over 5 million infringements were issued in Victoria in 2013-2014, with most being for traffic or parking offenses. Community legal centers that help people with infringements are overwhelmed with over 3,000 calls per year costing an average of $19,000 per case. The document proposes using technology to provide users with legal information and next steps to reduce the costs and time spent on infringement cases.

Carnegie rural broadband presentation 120613
The document discusses rural broadband connectivity in Scotland, noting that while progress is being made to meet the Scottish Government's 2015 targets of 85% premises connected to next generation broadband and no area having slower than 2Mbps, there remains a "final 10%" without adequate connectivity. It suggests community-led broadband solutions could help provide access for this remaining group. Specifically, it advocates supporting communities to develop their own broadband infrastructure and sharing learning between different community approaches. The document provides contact information for the author to discuss this issue further.
6 Applications and services
This document outlines how residents in Alston use broadband internet through their local provider Cybermoor. It discusses popular uses like travel information and local news on their website. It also summarizes a trial of 43 telehealth units for conditions like heart failure and COPD that were integrated with other local health services. The document proposes expanding telemedicine offerings and developing new website content and services in the future to showcase the value of broadband internet to the community.
5 The Right Approach
Local cybersecurity solutions like Cybermoor can create 25 FTE jobs, increase house prices 25% above normal, and generate further local investments and opportunities, but require identifying local resources and skills as well as providing layered local and national technical support. Non-local solutions may be more expensive to manage and require a capable local project manager, but could increase confidence in the final solution and help gain funding support.
4 Funding the network
This document discusses various options for funding a rural broadband network, including raising money through community share offers, grants, loans, and partnerships with other organizations. It outlines the industrial and provident society structure used by Cybermoor Networks to issue community shares and democratically run the network. The document also examines potential funding sources like the Rural Development Programme for England, and opportunities for future funding through expanded telehealth, telemedicine, and other applications that could partner with private and community groups.
3 technology options
This document discusses technology options for broadband connectivity. It considers wireless options like WiFi that were initially used but faced interference issues. It also discusses fibre options like fibre to the home or cabinet. The document outlines Alston Moor's history starting with a WiFi network and efforts to upgrade equipment to address problems. It details the various hardware used over time for wireless backhaul and at customer premises, as well as fibre equipment options. In the end, it suggests a mixture of technologies may be best to balance costs and reliability.
1 Welcome and background
The document announces an open day event at Cybermoor to introduce the community to its technology, policies, network management, finances, and services. The programme includes presentations on these topics with short Q&A sessions, a tour, and lunch. Housekeeping notes remind attendees to introduce themselves and their goals for the day.

7 Habits of Highly Effective People.pptx
Covey says most people look for quick fixes. They see a big success and want to know how he did it, believing (and hoping) they can do the same following a quick bullet list.
But real change, the author says, comes not from the outside in, but from the inside out. And the most fundamental way of changing yourself is through a paradigm shift.
That paradigm shift is a new way of looking at the world. The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People presents an approach to effectiveness based on character and principles.
The first three habits indeed deal with yourself because it all starts with you. The first three habits move you from dependence from the world to the independence of making your own world.
Habits 4, 5 and 6 are about people and relationships. The will move you from independence to interdependence. Such, cooperating to achieve more than you could have by yourself.
The last habit, habit number 7, focuses on continuous growth and improvement.
