Utility Advisory Committee Memo May 11, 2010 To: Utility Advisory Committee Glenn A. Cutler, P.E., Director of Public Works and Utilities Terry Gallagher, Police Chief Dan McKeen, Fire Chief Subject: Wireless Mobile Data System Grant Application Summary: At the direction of City Council, our staff and our outside consultant, Columbia Telecommunications Corporation, prepared a federal Broadband Technology Opportunities Program grant application for a wireless mobile data system within the City of Port Angeles. During grant application development, we discovered that the Northwest Open Access Network® (NoaNet) was on a parallel path. The City was allowed to partner with them on their application. If the grant application is successful, a due diligence process will be initiated in the next few months. If the application passes due diligence, a grant would likely be offered this summer or fall. Recommendation: For information only, no action requested. Background /Analysis: On March 17, 2009, City Council approved an agreement with Columbia Telecommunications Corporation (CTC) to assess the City's network, including the Police and Fire Departments' wireless mobile data needs. On July 21, 2009, City Council authorized CTC to prepare a design, cost estimate, business plan, and grant application for a wireless mobile data system under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). The City's cost share under the grant was anticipated to be 20% at that time. The U.S. Congress has appropriated $4.7 billion to establish a Broadband Technology Opportunities Program (BTOP) under ARRA for awards to eligible entities to develop and expand broadband services to rural and underserved areas and improve access to broadband by public safety agencies. Based on CTC's advice to staff the City did not pursue a grant under the first of the two rounds of BTOP funding. The rules governing the first round did not directly apply to the City's needs and it was felt that it would be better to wait for another opportunity. On February 2, 2010, City Council confirmed that CTC should proceed with a grant application for a public safety wireless mobile data system in the second round of BTOP funding. CTC and staff felt the second round opportunity was a more effective opportunity to compete for a grant award. The grant application was available on February 16, 2010, and included a March 26, 2010 grant submission deadline. Under the rules for the second round of BTOP funding the City's cost share would be 30 Wireless Mobile Data System Grant Application May 11, 2010 Page 2 During the week of February 15, 2010, CTC and staff exchanged information with prospective stakeholders including: the City of Sequim, Clallam County, Wave Broadband, TefNet, Capacity Provisioning, Inc., Fire Districts 2 -4, Clallam County Public Utility District, Housing Authority, Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe, Peninsula College, Port Angeles School District, Olympic Medical Center, Port Angeles Downtown Association, Port Angeles Regional Chamber of Commerce, Sequim School District, and the Port of Port Angeles. The purpose of the exchange was to inform and educate prospective stakeholders leading into a grant application strategy. During meetings with the Clallam County Public Utility District and TefNet it became apparent that they, through the Northwest Open Access Network® (NoaNet), were pursuing first and second round grants under BTOP. During the following week, further discussion of NoaNet's successful first round grant application revealed that the City's opportunities under the second cycle would be limited. Prior to then the City was pursuing collaboration with other public safety organizations that would benefit from a wireless data network along the 101 corridor. At that time it also became apparent that the City's odds of success under the second round would significantly improve if NoaNet would allow the City to be a sub grantee. The Clallam County Public Utility District and NoaNet allowed the City to be a sub grantee under their application in exchange for engagement in more discussion intended to produce a mutually beneficial agreement to allow expanded Clallam County Public Utility District fiber optics within the City. CTC proceeded with their engineering evaluation and aggregate system -level design for a wireless mobile data system within the City and the Lower Elwha Kallam Tribe. A total of 240 wireless access points are anticipated, including 44 interconnections to the fiber optic network within the City. Equipment necessary for vehicles was also included in the sub -grant for the City (Police, Fire, And Public Works and Utilities Departments), Fire Districts 2 and 3, Clallam County Sheriff, and the Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe. The total estimated capital cost of the proposed project is $3.7 million with a 30% City match of $1.1 million (prior investments and in -kind contributions allowed). CTC also prepared a business case evaluation which anticipated outsourcing services for operation and maintenance of the wireless network. The business case also envisioned that excess network capability could be used by a vendor to provide Internet access services to the public. It was anticipated that outsourcing such services would lower the City's ongoing costs. The City's sub -grant under NoaNet's grant application included letters of support from the City, Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe, Fire District 3, and Capacity Provisioning, Inc. A letter to our legislators and representatives was recently sent to inform them about this noteworthy and desperately needed project. A total of 355 applications requesting $8.4 billion in funding were received by the National Telecommunications Infrastructure Administration (NTIA) under the second round of BTOP. There is $2.35 billion in funding available in the second round. NoaNet's grant application was the only "highly recommended" comprehensive community infrastructure project for the state of Washington (see attachment). NoaNet's grant application (including the City's sub grant) is in the due diligence process. If the application passes due diligence, a grant would likely be offered this summer or fall. Attachments: Port Angeles Citywide Broadband Wireless Project Overview Letter from Governor Gregoire to NTIA dated May 3, 2010 Port Angeles Citywide Broadband Wireless Project Overview The City of Port Angeles Broadband Wireless project will provide integrated communications and interoperability among all local public safety entities. It will be interconnected to an existing fiber optic backbone to City, county, and other public safety entities, City utility facilities, City government departments, and commercial Wi -Fi subscribers. This project will allow the City to leverage a range of in -place public and private broadband assets and initiatives to deliver essential communications services to first responders in the field and the public at large. On the top of the City's list of priorities is the public safety community's need to deliver interoperable high- bandwidth mobile data communications to first responders in the field, allowing them to access critical and time sensitive information on site. The proposed high capacity broadband wireless network will provide public safety staff in the field with full and timely access to state, federal, and GIS databases, and will allow EMS responders to access medical databases and support on -site telemetry of patient status. A citywide wireless broadband footprint will provide a timely and cost effective mechanism to interconnect, monitor, and control all of the many distributed elements of the City's complex electrical, water, storm water, and wastewater facilities. In addition to providing backbone control, the density of coverage will allow cost effective future deployment of Smart Grid technology throughout the City. The addition of wireless PC devices to utility and other City vehicles associated with permitting and building and electrical site inspections will improve staff efficiency by allowing managers to send work orders directly to staff in the field. Maintenance staff will also have full on -line access to design documents and maps in the field, reducing the need for in- office support and trips back to the shop. A commercial "open access" multi provider wireless access system will be deployed as a public private partnership with local ISPs. The project goal is to provide a cost effective network open to all parties. The City and its local ISP partner will put into place subscriber rates that will be attractive to a wide range of commercial, residential, and public sector users. A subsidized service program will be established to provide a "basic broadband lifeline" service to residents who are unable to subscribe due to economic hardship. City Profile The City Port Angeles is the county seat of Clallam County, Washington. Port Angeles has a population of 18,982 residents' occupying 8,053 housing units in a 10.7- square- mile area. While the City is a major center of commerce in northwestern Washington and has a substantial downtown retail district, for purposes of the BTOP grant definition, Port Angeles falls within a rural classification. 1 U.S. Census, 2008 estimate Port Angeles Project Overview Page 2 Port Angeles plays host to an international port-of- entry, and the regular ferry service that connects the region to Victoria and Vancouver, British Columbia is a primary gateway for tourists entering Canada. The City also counts a community college and a regional hospital among its anchor institutions. In addition to its economic development needs, Port Angeles is statistically under policed; the Washington State average is 2.07 officers per thousand residents, but Port Angeles has only 1.74 officers per thousand residents. The police department has established innovative programs to address this need by placing resource officers in schools and the downtown district. Network Architecture The wireless network addition to the existing broadband infrastructure will leverage the power grid /street light infrastructure owned and operated by the Public Works and Utilities Department. Multi -band, broadband mesh wireless access points (WAP) will be installed and powered on existing lighting standards. The WAPs are to be mounded on the lighting standards at a height of 25 feet to provided high capacity coverage in both consumer and public safety wireless bands. The density of access devices is dependant on the desired coverage requirements and subscriber demand requirements. High- capacity areas, such as Route 101 through the City, will require an access unit density of 30 to 35 units per square mile, or in route terms, five to seven units per linear mile. The design targets a maximum of two mesh access points linked wirelessly to any fiber access point in the high- density and high traffic areas of the City. Figure I provides an overview of coverage and details of the locations of available lighting standards for mounting the WAPs. The coverage target for the City, with the exception of the area delineated in yellow, is 90 percent area coverage. 2 This map is maintained in a GIS database.

The design focuses on providing mobile coverage to over 80 percent of the City's 10.7 square miles for a total service area of eight square miles. It will provide service along most or all of the public roads. A secondary or reduced service should be available in the unpopulated areas and on the airport land and runways. The City currently has 32 high -speed broadband access points being served via fiber optics (buildings, utility SCADA, cameras, and similar facilities) that are to be connected to the wireless access devices for backhaul. These sites are listed in Appendix A. They are distributed throughout the City and can be immediately pressed into service to support the wireless network. To enhance the network and provide adequate capacity for the additional broadband traffic, the City will be upgrading the network interface equipment at City Hall and six other key sites. Figure II provides an overview of the existing fiber access points that will be used for backhaul. Port Angeles Project Overview Page 4 Figure II Location of Existing Broadband Network Access Points Legend fa Existing Fiber Optic Sites alID POMO In order to implement the wireless system, the City will add fiber optic network access points at strategic locations which will allow for direct broadband access for the WAP and also support other municipal applications such as enhanced utility management functions, advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) /automatic meter reading (AMR) for residential and commercial customers, street lights, traffic signals, and other facilities. These sites are listed in Appendix A. Figure III is a map illustrating the locations of the planned new fiber optic network access point sites (red) along with the existing access sites (green). Figure IV illustrates three addition wireless access points that are to be installed outside the city of Port Angeles for interagency coordination between the Lower Elwha Police Department and the Port Angeles PD.

Proposed Mobile Broadband Service The system at time of activation will provide wireless service to public safety and other government users at a minimum data rate of 10 Mbps. The initial implementation is planned to support the following vehicle deployment: Agency 1 Vehicles Port Angeles Police 1 33 Port Angeles Fire 1 22 Fire District #2 1 7 Fire District #3 1 15 Clallam County Sheriff 7 Lower Elwha PD 5 Port Angeles Utility 30 Total: 119 Proposed Wi -Fi Broadband Service The commercial Wi -Fi service is to be operated by a private operator. The business plan calls for a penetration of 10 percent of the residences passed. The marketing plan focuses on lower- income and mobile users. Capacity Provisioning Inc. (CPI) has submitted a letter of interest. The estimated income per subscriber per month to the City from the operator is estimated at $10. Capital Budget This project is to be substantially completed in a period of 24 months after the notice to proceed. The total capital budget for the project is $3,655,765, with a total of $1,096,729 (30- percent of the total project budget) to be covered by local cash matching funds.

Strickling Assistant Secretary for Communications and Information National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) U.S. Department of Commerce Herbert C. Hoover Building (HCHB) 1401 Constitution Avenue N.W. Washington, D.C. 20230 Thank you for inviting Washington State to comment on the broadband stimulus applications submitted to NTIA for the second wave of broadband funding. I am pleased to submit to you my recommendations for Washington. In our review, we applied the objectives of the Broadband Technology Opportunities Program (BTOP); the rules for the second wave of BTOP funding issued by the United States Department of Commerce's National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA); and the recommendations described in the Governor's Broadband Advisory Council (GBAC) Report, as guidelines. Your state consultation letter requests that states differentiate their recommendations into two categories: recommended and highly recommended. Your letter also suggested it would be helpful to NTIA if comments were provided about why these particular applications serve our state's best interests. We have done both, as I wish to make every effort to advocate on behalf of these worthy applicants. Mr. Lawrence E. Strickling Page 2 May 3, 2010 Highly Recommended Proposals The following proposals not only met the federal program objectives and Washington's broadband priorities, but also stood out as being the most valuable to the state and the most likely to be successfully executed: Northwest Open Access Network, State of Washington Broadband Consortium, Comprehensive Community Infrastructure proposal requesting a grant of $55,280,797. (Easygrants ID: 5376) This is the highest ranked proposal and meets all seven of the BTOP Comprehensive Community Infrastructure criteria. The proposal would complement the network newly funded by the first wave grant to NoaNet by extending the ,NoaNet network to support additional middle mile and last mile builds to unserved and underserved areas in the south central, southeast, and northeast parts of the state. Many of these areas have challenging terrains where broadband infrastructure would likely not otherwise be built. These are areas that are economically depressed with income levels well below and unemployment well above the state averages. When completed, the network will reach 283 anchor institutions and over 55 economically depressed communities. The project will create a valuable platform for private investment in last mile infrastructure, thereby helping create a level playing field between urban and rural areas of the state. The project will enhance public safety and ensure high capacity access to every community college in Washington. The application also receives my strongest endorsement because it is proposed by an entity that has an existing track record of successful deployment and expertise; involves a public- private partnership; was developed in consultation with numerous public and private stakeholders; and is coordinated with meritorious projects proposed by other applicants. Puget Sound Center Foundation for Teaching, Learning, and Technology, Stimulating Broadband Enabled Economic Growth in Underserved Washington Communities, Public Computer Center proposal requesting grant of S4,169,734. (Easygrants ID: 5209) This proposal will expand the capacity of 37 public computing centers and establish five new public computing centers in areas of the state with limited technology access, low adoption rates and low income and vulnerable populations. The proposal employs a proven access, training, and content model. Mr. Lawrence E. Stickling Page 3 May 3,2010 Puget Sound Center Foundation for Teaching, Learning, and Technology, Communities Connect Network, Sustainable Broadband Adoption proposal requesting grant of $2,045,458. (Easygrants ID: 6321.) Washington State Superintendent of Public Instruction, Regional Broadband Education Project PCC, Public Computer Center proposal requesting grant of $5,231,723. (Easygrants ID: 5158) Washington State Superintendent of Public Instruction, Regional Broadband Education Project SBA, Sustainable Broadband Adoption proposal requesting grant of $3,524,059. (Easygrants ID: 5212) Recommended Proposals This project creates state and local partnerships for training and support services that expand broadband adoption in more than 40 of Washington's most impoverished communities. It is highly recommended because it is well thought out and complements and enhances a respected, existing anti poverty program. It also complements the applicant's PCC proposal (Easygrants ID: 5209) and will result in a specialized open- content curriculum that can be made available to other economically vulnerable communities in Washington. The project is specifically designed to address all of the stated BTOP purposes. This project dovetails with the CCI proposal submitted by NoaNet and will provide a valuable public computing center in an area with high unemployment and a lack of economic opportunity. The area is largely agricultural with a large Hispanic population that displays a low adoption rate for broadband services. The large disparity in incomes within this area masks severe poverty and a significant need to improve the educational base. The proposal will provide the facilities for broadband access for the general public and the vulnerable populations in this challenged area. This proposal is also coordinated with and integral to the success of the NoaNet CC1 proposal and the applicant's PCC proposal (Easygrants ID: 5158). As with the PCC proposal, this SBA proposal will provide broadband education and awareness in an area that has large vulnerable populations and is severely challenged economically. The following proposals are recommended because they meet the federal program's objectives and criteria and Washington's broadband priorities as described in my GBAC report: Grays Harbor Public Development Authority "GHPDA" CCI Middle Mile Project, Comprehensive Community Infrastructure proposal requesting grant of $16,700,000. (Easygrants ID: 6156) Mr. Lawrence E. Strickling Page 4 May 3, 2010 Sincerely, Christine O. Gregoire Governor This proposal was recommended in the first round of BTOP funding but was eliminated because of a technical flaw in the application. It is recommended again because it will bring valuable middle -mile infrastructure to an area that is trying to make a difficult transition from a timber -based economy and is still economically depressed. It is also a long distance from other economic centers. The project proposed would meet federal objectives and criteria, enhance public safety, and provide a valuable platform for private investment in last -mile facilities. The infrastructure proposed will connect with the NoaNet network and through it be able to reach the Internet and other areas of the state. Port of Allyn, Computer Center North Mason, Public Computer Center proposal requesting grant of $20,000. (Easygrants ID: 7070) This is a modest request that would set up a computer center to provide broadband access to support distance learning programs in an underserved rural part of the Olympic Peninsula with high unemployment and low incomes. The primary focus will be on non- English speaking, minority and low income populations. I appreciate the opportunity to assist you in determining which of the proposals that best match Washington State's interests are ones NTIA should give priority in selecting projects for funding. If you have any questions, please contact my Broadband Policy and Program Manager, Angela Wu at (360) 902 -2983 or an zela.wu(idis.wa.szov. Thank you again for taking into consideration our state's best interests. P 0RT A NGE LES W A S H I N G T O N U.S.A. Utility Advisory Committee Memo Date: May 11, 2009 To: Utility Advisory Committee From: Tom McCabe, Solid Waste Superintendent Subject: Solid Waste Management and Recycling Laws Summary: The Washington State Department of Ecology has been holding workshops and is accepting public comments until May 19, 2010 on the state's solid waste management and recycling laws. The goal of this effort is to increase recycling and reduce the amount of waste going to transfer stations and landfills. Recommendation: For information only, no action requested. Background /Analysis: The Washington state solid waste and hazardous waste management plan, called "Beyond Waste" began in 2004 and set a goal to reduce most waste and toxic substances in the next 30 years. The State legislature has established priorities for sold waste management. They start with waste reduction, then recycling, and as a last resort waste disposal. Today the current statewide recycling rate is 45 while the goal set in 1995 was 50 The current recycling rate across the entire county is 22% and last year the Transfer Station Utility received a total of 7,329 tons of recyclable materials. The Washington State Department of Ecology (DOE) has been holding workshops on the State's solid waste management and recycling laws. They are trying to identify what's problematic with current solid waste laws and what should be improved. The goal of this effort is to increase recycling and reduce the amount of waste going to transfer stations and landfills. The final workshops will be held on May 12, 2010 in Seattle at the King Street Center from 1 -4 pm and 6- 9 pm. The Solid Waste Division will be sending a representative to attend this workshop. Additional information about updating solid waste laws, background, and issues is available on the Internet at httn /www.ecv.wa.aov /nroarams /swfa /7095/. The DOE is accepting public comments until May 19, 2010. Staff does not plan to share any comments at this time.

Utility Advisory Committee Memo Date: May 11, 2010 To: Utility Advisory Committee From: Terry Dahlquist, Electrical Engineering Manager Subject: Electric Utility Safety Equipment Purchase Summary: State and Federal work rules require the Electric Utility to provide equipment and clothing necessary to protect personnel from arc flash incidents. Such failures can occur when disconnecting breakers in electric substations. Recommendation: Forward a favorable recommendation to City Council to purchase a remotely operated breaker racking system to protect personnel during substation maintenance. Background /Analysis: When a fault occurs on an energized high voltage circuit, it can create what is called an "arc flash." A high current at the fault location heats the metal and surrounding air so much and so quickly that a pressure wave of heat and light radiates in all directions. An arc flash is essentially an explosion. The severity of the explosion depends upon the amount of energy available. The most hazardous locations on the electric utility system are at the electric substations where the total energy available is very high. Each substation has several high voltage breakers that occasionally need to be removed for operation or maintenance. The act of physically removing the breaker is called "racking out" the breaker, and it exposes personnel to a potential arc flash if some mechanical failure occurs during the process. The amount of energy available at a substation would make an arc flash fatal to anyone near the breaker. This safety deficiency was identified in both a job hazard analysis and from employee inputs which indicated that should an arc flash occur during the racking procedure, that the employee that tripped the breaker would almost certainly die or that if they survived, the injuries would be so catastrophic that their lives would be irreparably changed. Light Operations proposes to purchase a "Remote Racking System" manufactured by CBS ARC Safe, at an estimated cost of $25,000. This device allows breaker racking to be performed remotely. The operator stands safely outside of the hazard area during the actual disconnecting/connecting process when a failure would be most likely. This purchase was not included in the 2010 budget, but will be paid for by deferring other planned expenses so the total budget does not increase. It is requested that the UAC forward a favorable recommendation to City Council to purchase a remotely operated breaker racking system to protect personnel during substation maintenance.

Utility Advisory Committee Memo Date: May 11, 2010 To: Utility Advisory Committee From: Bob Kajfasz, Commercial Energy Analyst Subject: Conservation Program Annual Report Summary: During the last year, the City finalized its participation in the Bonneville Power Administration's 2006 -2009 Conservation Rate Credit program and initiated the successor 2010- 2011 Conservation Rate Credit program. Staff will present last year's achievements, summarize the currently available rebates, and share the progress made on the options to use available program funding. Recommendation: For information only, no action requested. Background /Analysis: On April 17, 2001, City Council authorized the Public Works and Utilities Director to implement a conservation program that qualifies for the Bonneville Power Administration's (BPA) Conservation Rate Credit (CRC) program. The BPA provides a monthly discount of $0.005 /kWh on wholesale power purchases that the City uses to provide rebates for qualified conservation measures. Any unspent credits must be returned to BPA at the end of the CRC program period. The City has implemented a conservation program consistent with the requirements of the CRC and offers rebates to each electric utility customer rate class. Participating in the CRC program lowers the City's wholesale power costs, funds rebates to customers to invest in conservation improvements, and benefits the local economy. The following table summarizes the CRC program achievements from April 1, 2009 through March 31, 2010.

Utility Advisory Committee Memo May 11, 2010 Utility Advisory Committee Phil Lusk, Power Resources Manager Conservation Loan Guarantee Agreement Summary: On March 25, 2010 staff received a letter from First Federal Savings and Loan providing a notice of termination of that agreement, effective May 24, 2010. A new agreement has been offered for the City's consideration. Recommendation: Forward a favorable recommendation to City Council to authorize the Mayor to sign the Conservation Loan Guarantee Agreement with First Federal Savings and Loan. Background /Analysis: The City and First Federal Savings and Loan Association of Port Angeles (First Federal) entered into an agreement in 1998 to assist residential customers in the financing of energy and water conservation improvements. In 2008, the agreement was expanded to include the City's commercial customers. As part of the expanded agreement, the City provided First Federal a guaranty to pay the principal balance of any loan defaults in exchange for a more favorable interest rate. There have been no loan defaults requiring City payment. On April 13, 2010, the Utility Advisory Committee was informed that First Federal provided a notice of agreement termination, effective May 24, 2010. Since then First Federal has offered a new agreement for the City's consideration. The primary differences between the current and proposed agreements are summarized below.

What is Meant by "Smart Grid Smart Grid is a system that uses various technologies to enhance power delivery and use through intelligent two -way communication. The Bonneville Power Administration generation and transmission services, the City's electrical distribution utility, suppliers, and customers are all part of the future Smart Grid. With increased communication and information, the future Smart Grid can monitor activities in real time, exchange data about supply and demand and adjust power use to changing load requirements. The future Smart Grid will empower customers to choose to control their energy usage. What is Meant by "Demand Response Changes in electric usage by customers from their normal consumption patterns in response to changes in the price of electricity over time, or to incentive payments designed to induce lower electricity use at times of high wholesale power rates or when the d{stnbut{on system reliability is jeopardized. There are three basic demand response techniques. Load shedding or load curtailment that simply shuts off a device during peak events, typically fewer than 10 times per year Load shifting, a more sophisticated technique that moves loads away from heavy load hours and distribution system peaks, sometimes by preheating or precooling, other times by delaying an activity (clothes dryers, dishwashers, etc Load shaping, which constantly fine -tunes the distnbution system consumption and demand in real time to resemble BPA's system load shape.

Utility Advisory Committee Memo Date: May 11, 2010 To: Utility Advisory Committee From: Larry Dunbar, Deputy Director of Power Systems Subject: Federal Communications Commission National Broadband Plan Summary: The Federal Communications Commission recently released a National Broadband Plan that is anticipated to be used as a guide to the nation in the years ahead. Based on the interest of Utility Advisory Committee members a short video will be available at today's meeting that summarizes the plan. Recommendation: For information only, no action requested. Background /Analysis: The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) started the process of creating a National Broadband Plan in April 2009 and the final plan was recently released. It is anticipated that the plan will be a guide to the nation in the years ahead. Based on the interest of Utility Advisory Committee members a short video will be available at today's meeting that summarizes the plan. The plan's goals are summarized below and a copy of the executive summary is attached. Goals 4- 6 and are directly related to current and planned City activities. 1. At least 100 million U.S. homes should have affordable access to actual download speeds of at least 100 megabits per second and actual upload speeds of at least 50 megabits per second. 2. The United States should lead the world in mobile innovation, with the fastest and most extensive wireless networks of any nation. 3. Every American should have affordable access to robust broadband service, and the means and skills to subscribe if they so choose. 4. Every community should have affordable access to at least 1 gigabit per second broadband service to anchor institutions such as schools, hospitals and government buildings. 5. To ensure the safety of Americans, every first responder should have access to a nationwide public safety wireless network. 6. To ensure that America leads in the clean energy economy, every American should be able to use broadband to track and manage their real -time energy consumption. Attachment: Federal Communications Commission National Broadband Plan Executive Summary N \UAC\Final\FCC National Broadband Plan doc f Broadband is the great infrastructure challenge of the early 21st century. Like electricity a century ago, broadband is a foundation for economic growth, job creation, global competitiveness and a better way of life. It is enabling entire new industries and unlocking vast new possibilities for existing ones. It is changing how we educate children, deliver health care, manage energy, ensure public safety, engage government, and access, organize and disseminate knowledge. Fueled primarily by private sector investment and innova- tion, the American broadband ecosystem has evolved rapidly. The number of Americans who have broadband at home has grown from eight million in 2000 to nearly 200 million last year. Increasingly capable fixed and mobile networks allow Americans to access a growing number of valuable applications through innovative devices. But broadband in America is not all it needs to be. Approximately 100 million Americans do not have broadband at home. Broadband enabled health information technology (IT) can improve care and lower costs by hundreds of billions of dollars in the coming decades, yet the United States is behind many advanced countries in the adoption of such technology. Broadband can provide teachers with tools that allow students to learn the same course material in half the time, but there is a dearth of easily accessible digital educational content required for such opportunities. A broadband enabled Smart Grid could increase energy independence and efficiency, but much of the data required to capture these benefits are inaccessible to consumers, businesses and entrepreneurs. And nearly a decade after 9/11, our first responders still lack a nationwide public safety mobile broad- band communications network, even though such a network could improve emergency response and homeland security Fulfilling the Congressional Mandate In early 2009, Congress directed the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to develop a National Broadband Plan to ensure every American has "access to broadband capability." Congress also required that this plan include a detailed strategy for achieving affordability and maximizing use of broadband to advance "consumer welfare, civic participation, public safety and homeland security, community development, health care deliv- ery, energy independence and efficiency, education, employee training, private sector investment, entrepreneurial activity, job creation and economic growth, and other national purposes." EXECUTIVE SUMMARY AMERICA'S PLAN EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Broadband networks only create value to consumers and businesses when they are used in conjunction with broadband capable devices to deliver useful applications and content. To fulfill Congress's mandate, the plan seeks to ensure that the entire broadband ecosystem networks, devices, content and applica- tions—is healthy. It makes recommendations to the FCC, the Executive Branch, Congress and state and local governments. The Plan Government can influence the broadband ecosystem in four ways: 1. Design policies to ensure robust competition and, as a result maximize consumer welfare, innovation and investment. 2. Ensure efficient allocation and management of assets government controls or influences, such as spectrum, poles, and rights -of -way, to encourage network upgrades and com- petitive entry 3. Reform current universal service mechanisms to support deployment of broadband and voice in high -cost areas; and ensure that low income Americans can afford broadband; and in addition, support efforts to boost adoption and utilization. 4. Reform laws, policies, standards and incentives to maxi- mize the benefits of broadband in sectors government influ- ences significantly, such as public education, health care and government operations. 1. Establishing competition policies. Policymakers, including the FCC, have a broad set of tools to protect and encour- age competition in the markets that make up the broadband ecosystem: network services, devices, applications and content. The plan contains multiple recommendations that will foster competition across the ecosystem. They include the following: Collect, analyze, benchmark and publish detailed, market -by- market information on broadband pric- ing and competition, which will likely have direct impact on competitive behavior (e.g., through benchmarking of pricing across geographic markets). This will also enable the FCC and other agencies to apply appropriate remedies when competition is lacking in specific geographies or market segments. Develop disclosure requirements for broadband service providers to ensure consumers have the pricing and perfor- mance information they need to choose the best broadband FEDERAL C()MAIUN1C.fIONS CO%1'Nltitil(IN 1 NATIONAL RROAUR 1NI) PLAN XI AMERICA'S PLAN EXECUTIVE SUMMARY offers in the market. Increased transparency will incent service providers to compete for customers on the basis of actual performance. Undertake a comprehensive review of wholesale compe- tition rules to help ensure competition in fixed and mobile broadband services. Free up and allocate additional spectrum for unlicensed use, fostering ongoing innovation and competitive entry. Update rules for wireless backhaul spectrum to increase capacity in urban areas and range in rural areas. Expedite action on data roaming to determine how best to achieve wide, seamless and competitive coverage, en- courage mobile broadband providers to construct and build networks, and promote entry and competition. Change rules to ensure a competitive and innovative video set -top box market, to be consistent with Section 629 of the Telecommunications Act. The Act says that the FCC should ensure that its rules achieve a competitive market in video "navigation devices," or set -top boxes —the devices consumers use to access much of the video they watch today. Clarify the Congressional mandate allowing state and local entities to provide broadband in their commu- nities and do so in ways that use public resources more effectively. Clarify the relationship between users and their online profiles to enable continued innovation and competi- tion in applications and ensure consumer privacy, including the obligations of firms collecting personal information to allow consumers to know what information is being collected, consent to such collection, correct it if necessary, and control disclosure of such personal informa- tion to third parties. 2. Ensuring efficient allocation and use of government owned and government- influenced assets. Government establishes policies for the use of spectrum and oversees access to poles, conduits, rooftops and rights -of -way, which are used in the deployment of broadband networks. Government also finances a large number of infrastructure projects. Ensuring these assets and resources are allocated and managed effi- ciently can encourage deployment of broadband infrastructure and lower barriers to competitive entry. The plan contains a number of recommendations to accomplish these goals. They include the following: Spectrum is a major input for providers of broadband service. Currently, the FCC has only 50 megahertz in inven- tory, just a fraction of the amount that will be necessary to match growing demand. More efficient allocation and assignment of spectrum will reduce deployment costs, drive XII FFIDERAI. COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION WIN 13R0ADRAND.UOV investment and benefit consumers through better perfor- mance and lower prices. The recommendations on spec- trum policy include the following: Make 500 megahertz of spectrum newly available for broadband within 10 years, of which 300 megahertz should be made available for mobile use within five years. Enable incentives and mechanisms to repurpose spectrum to more flexible uses. Mechanisms include incentive auctions, which allow auction proceeds to be shared in an equitable manner with current licensees as market demands change. These would benefit both spectrum holders and the American public. The public could benefit from additional spectrum for high -de- mand uses and from new auction revenues. Incumbents, meanwhile, could recognize a portion of the value of en- abling new uses of spectrum. For examp] e, this would al- low the FCC to share auction proceeds with broadcast- ers who voluntarily agree to use technology to continue traditional broadcast services with less spectrum. Ensure greater transparency of spectrum allocation, assignment and use through an FCC created spectrum dashboard to foster an efficient secondary market. Expand opportunities for innovative spectrum ac- cess models by creating new avenues for opportunistic and unlicensed use of spectrum and increasing research into new spectrum technologies. Infrastructure such as poles, conduits, rooftops and rights of -way play an important role in the economics of broad- band networks. Ensuring service providers can access these resources efficiently and at fair prices can drive upgrades and facilitate competitive entry. In addition, testbeds can drive innovation of next- generation applications and, ulti- mately, may promote infrastructure deployment. Recom- mendations to optimize infrastructure use include: Establish low and more uniform rental rates for ac- cess to poles, and simplify and expedite the process for service providers to attach facilities to poles. Improve rights -of -way management for cost and time savings, promote use of federal facilities for broadband, expedite resolution of disputes and identify and establish "best practices" guidelines for rights -of- way policies and fee practices that are consistent with broadband deployment. Facilitate efficient new infrastructure construction, including through "dig- once" policies that would make federal financing of highway, road and bridge projects contingent on states and localities allowing joint de- ployment of broadband infrastructure. +M Jr Provide ultra- high -speed broadband connectivity to select U.S. Department of Defense installations to enable the development of next generation broadband applications for military personnel and their families living on base. 3. Creating incentives for universal availability and adop- tion of broadband. Three elements must be in place to ensure all Americans have the opportunity to reap the benefits of broadband. All Americans should have access to broad- band service with sufficient capabilities, all should be able to afford broadband and all should have the opportunity to develop digital literacy skills to take advantage of broadband. Recommendations to promote universal broadband deploy- ment and adoption include the following: Ensure universal access to broadband network services. Create the Connect America Fund (CAF) to support the provision of affordable broadband and voice with at least 4 Mbps actual download speeds and shift up to $15.5 billion over the next decade from the existing Uni- versal Service Fund (USF) program to support broad- band. If Congress wishes to accelerate the deployment of broadband to unserved areas and otherwise smooth the transition of the Fund, it could make available public funds of a few billion dollars per year over two to three years. Create a Mobility Fund to provide targeted fund- ing to ensure no states are lagging significantly behind the national average for 3G wireless coverage. Such 3G coverage is widely expected to be the basis for the future footprint of 4G mobile broadband networks. Transition the "legacy" High -Cost component of the USF over the next 10 years and shift all resources to the new funds. The $4.6 billion per year High Cost compo- nent of the USF was designed to support primarily voice services. It will be replaced over time by the CAF. Reform intercarrier compensation, which provides implicit subsidies to telephone companies by elimi- nating per- minute charges over the next 10 years and enabling adequate cost recovery through the CAF. Design the new Connect America Fund and Mobility Fund in a tax efficient manner to minimize the size of the broadband availability gap and thereby reduce contributions borne by consumers. Broaden the USF contribution base to ensure USF remains sustainable over time. Create mechanisms to ensure affordability to low -in- come Americans, AMERICA'S PLAN EXECI Ci1E SUMMARY Expand the Lifeline and Link -Up programs by allowing subsidies provided to low income Americans to be used for broadband. Consider licensing a block of spectrum with a condi- tion to offer free or low -cost service that would create affordable alternatives for consumers, reducing the burden on USF. Ensure every American has the opportunity to become digitally literate. Launch a National Digital Literacy Corps to organize and train youth and adults to teach digital literacy skills and enable private sector programs addressed at break- ing adoption barriers. 4. Updating policies, setting standards and aligning in- centives to maximize use for national priorities. Federal, Tribal, state and local governments play an important role in many sectors of our economy. Government is the largest health care payor in the country, operates the public education system, regulates many aspects of the energy industry, provides multiple services to its citizens and has primary responsibility for homeland security. The plan includes recommendations designed to unleash increased use, private sector investment and innovation in these areas. They include the following: Health care. Broadband can help improve the quality and lower the cost of health care through health IT and improved data capture and use, which will enable clearer understand- ing of the most effective treatments and processes. To achieve these objectives, the plan has recommendations that will: Help ensure health care providers have access to afford- able broadband by transforming the FCC's Rural Health Care Program. Create incentives for adoption by expanding reimburse- ment for e -care. Remove barriers to e-care by modernizing regulations like device approval, credentialing, privileging and licensing. Drive innovative applications and advanced analytics by ensuring patients have control over their health data and ensuring interoperability of data. Education. Broadband can enable improvements in public education through e- learning and online content, which can provide more personalized learning opportunities for stu- dents. Broadband can also facilitate the flow of information, helping teachers, parents, schools and other organizations to make better decisions tied to each student's needs and abili- ties. To those ends, the plan includes recommendations to: FEDERAL CONIMtNJCATIONS COMMISS[ON NATION-\E. HROADBANI) PLAN XIII AMERICA'S PLAN EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Improve the connectivity to schools and libraries by up- grading the FCC's E -Rate program to increase flexibility, improve program efficiency and foster innovation by pro- moting the most promising solutions and funding wireless connectivity to learning devices that go home with students. Accelerate online learning by enabling the creation of digital content and learning systems, removing regula- tory barriers and promoting digital literacy. Personalize learning and improve decision- making by fostering adoption of electronic educational records and improving financial data transparency in education. Energy and the environment. Broadband can play a major role in the transition to a clean energy economy. Ameri- ca can use these innovations to reduce carbon pollution, improve our energy efficiency and lessen our dependence on foreign oil. To achieve these objectives, the plan has recommendations that will: Modernize the electric grid with broadband, making it more reliable and efficient. Unleash energy innovation in homes and buildings by making energy data readily accessible to consumers. Improve the energy efficiency and environmental im- pact of the ICT sector. Economic opportunity. Broadband can expand access to jobs and training, support entrepreneurship and small business growth and strengthen community development efforts. The plan includes recommendations to: Support broadband choice and small businesses' use of broadband services and applications to drive job cre- ation, growth and productivity gains. Expand opportunities for job training and placement through an online platform. Integrate broadband assessment and planning into eco- nomic development efforts. Government performance and civic engagement. Within government, broadband can drive greater efficiency and effectiveness in service delivery and internal operations. It can also improve the quantity and quality of civic engage- ment by providing a platform for meaningful engagement with representatives and agencies. Through its own use of broadband, government can support local efforts to deploy broadband, particularly in unserved communities. To achieve these goals, the plan includes recommendations to: Allow state and local governments to purchase broad- band from federal contracts such as Networx. Improve government performance and operations through cloud computing, cybersecurity, secure authen- tication and online service delivery. Increase civic engagement by making government more open and transparent, creating a robust public media XIV FEDE.rAI. COMMUNICATIONS COMMEISSL(N w'WW.HROADI \yn.cnv ecosystem and modernizing the democratic process. Public safety and homeland security. Broadband can bol- ster efforts to improve public safety and homeland security by allowing first responders to send and receive video and data, by ensuring all Americans can access e mergency ser- vices and improving the way Americans are notified about emergencies. To achieve these objectives, the plan makes recommendations to: Support deployment of a nationwide, interoperable public safety mobile broadband network, with fund- ing of up to $6.5 billion in capital expenditures over 10 years, which could be reduced through cost efficiency measures and other programs. Additional funding will be required for operating expenses. Promote innovation in the development and deploy- ment of next- generation 911 and emergency alert systems. Promote cybersecurity and critical infrastructure sur- vivability to increase user confidence, trust and adop- tion of broadband communications. Long -Term Goals In addition to the recommendations above, the plan recom- mends that the country adopt and track the following six goals to serve as a compass over the next decade. Goal No. 1: At least 100 million U.S. homes should have affordable access to actual download speeds of at least 100 megabits per second and actual upload speeds of at least 50 megabits per second. Goal No. 2: The United States should lead the world in mobile innovation, with the fastest and most extensive wireless networks of any nation. Goal No. 3: Every American should have affordable ac- cess to robust broadband service, and the means and skills to subscribe if they so choose. Goal No. 4: Every American community should have affordable access to at least 1 gigabit per second broadband service to anchor institutions such as schools, hospitals and government buildings. Goal No. 5: To ensure the safety of the American people, every first responder should have access to a nationwide, wireless, interoperable broadband public safety network. Goal No. 6: To ensure that America leads in the clean energy economy, every American should be able to use broadband to track and manage their real -time energy consumption. Meeting these six goals will help achieve the Congressional mandate of using broadband to achieve national purposes, while improving the economics of deployment and adoption. In particular, the first two goals will create the world's most attractive market for broadband applications, devices and infrastructure and ensure America has the infrastructure to at- tract the leading communications and IT applications, devices and technologies. The third goal, meanwhile, will ensure every American has the opportunity to take advantage of the benefits broadband offers, including improved health care, better edu- cation, access to a greater number of economic opportunities and greater civic participation. Budget Impact of Plan Given the plan's goal of freeing 500 megahertz of spectrum, future wireless auctions mean the overall plan will be revenue neutral, if not revenue positive. The vast majority of recom- mendations do not require new government funding; rather, they seek to drive improvements in government efficiency, streamline processes and encourage private activity to promote consumer welfare and national priorities. The funding requests relate to public safety, deployment to unserved areas and adoption efforts. If the spectrum auction recommendations are implemented, the plan is likely to offset the potential costs. AMERICA'S PLAN EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Implementation The plan is in beta, and always will be. Like the Internet itself, the plan will always be changing— adjusting to new developments in technologies and markets, reflecting new realities, and evolving to realize the unforeseen opportunities of a particular time. As such, implementation requires a long -term commitment to measuring progress and adjusting programs and policies to improve performance. Half of the recommendations in this plan are offered to the FCC. To begin implementation, the FCC will: Quickly publish a timetable of proceedings to implement plan recommendations within its authority. Publish an evaluation of plan progress and effectiveness as part of its annual 706 Advanced Services Inquiry. Create a Broadband Data Depository as a public resource for broadband information. The remaining half of the recommendations are offered to the Executive Branch, Congress and state and local govern- ments. Policymakers alone, though, cannot ensure success. Industry, non profits, and government together with the American people, must now act and rise to our era's infrastruc- ture challenge.
