Sub-Team Tasks and Competencies
Northwest Colorado Local Technology Planning Team (LTPT) utilizes a formula known as the “7 A’s” attributing it to success in improving broadband infrastructure regionally:1. Aggregate Experience: Establishment of Northwest Colorado LTPT;
2. Assess Local Broadband Environment: identification of single, low bandwidth middle mile services into the Northwest Colorado as hindrance to all telecoms in the region
3. Assess Demand: multiple speed tests and surveys show much of the region to have no broadband as defined by FCC ( 4 Mbps down 1 Mbps up)
4. Aggregate Demand: The LTPT has conducted a number of surveys with local service providers and determined that total demand by local service providers and community anchor institutions is at least 3 gigabits per second (Gbps).
5. Aggregate Resources: a) local funding as organized via Northwest Colorado Council of Governments and Steamboat Springs Chamber of Commerce b) low-cost local tower sites c) use disruptive technologies including microwave d) creation of carrier neutral locations (CNL) in Steamboat Springs and Craig e) explore availability of dark fiber: Rifle to Steamboat Springs F) fiber conduit in Steamboat Springs
6. Aggregate Solutions: a) Phase I: microwave path from fiber point of presence in Fraser to Steamboat Springs, b) Phase II: fiber route from fiber point of presence in Rifle to Craig
7. Aggregate Sustainability: a) Local service providers build middle mile that is redundant, abundant and affordable b) middle mile project is locally funded and operated c) elected officials hope to see this model replicated throughout the Northwest Colorado

Strategy: Accelerate Building Capacity with Lean Government By Harnessing Existing Assets
Leverage Public Rights-of-way and Properties• Two Highways for (nearly) the cost of one• Deploy along Highways, Canals, Power-lines, Railroads…• Utilize Government Buildings and Vertical Assets
Recommend Permitting and Easement Best Practices
Possible State Broadband & ROW Clearinghouse Role
Leverage Existing $6.3 Million Federal Grant into Sustainably Funded Mechanism(s) for Acceleration of Digital Capacity Build-out
Provide Long-range State-wide Planning and Leadership as well as Continuing Community Support
Arizona Telecommunications and Information Council
ASET DAP Highway Conduit Initiative
Primary Approach: Deploy conduit along state highways and rural frontage roads to be leased to providers at cost to facilitate availability of fiber Internet middle-mile capacity to support providers’ investments in more and faster services for rural Arizona.
Trenching + Conduits ≈ Very low cost when road bed under construction or repair.
Passed Arizona Digital Highways Law SB1402 to support this.
Potential Funding Sources:•No funding in the Digital Highways Law itself•Some seed funding from existing grants•Leased conduit can be recycled to pay for additional capacity•Provider investment under discussion•State-wide eRate facilitation could provide funding from gain sharing•Possible shared funding with Public Safety Broadband (FirstNet)

An implementation and funding model is being developed in which the State of Arizona could implement the Digital Arizona Highways Act of 2012 (SB 1402). This model incorporates funds from eRate programs, State educational investments, broadband provider investment, public safety broadband, and other possible sources of funds.
The model can provide recurring revenue to rural Arizona broadband providers who in-turn could utilize a portion of the funds for procuring fiber conduits and/or towers along Arizona roadways in close proximity to key rural broadband users. In return, the providers obtain long-term leases of the conduit and towers of interest to each of them which they are free to utilize the leases in any manner that is commercially viable with some selling broadband services directly to users while others concentrate on wholesale services to the retail providers.
Additionally, within the above public-private partnership constructs, ASET is exploring financing means including securitizing the leases, tax-advantaged bonding, and closer planning and funding efforts with user educational, medical-services and economic-development stakeholders. The goal is to allow market forces to drive the expansion of retail and wholesale digital capacity throughout rural Arizona over time.

Microsoft/Arnold Group Economic Impact Model
Arizona Telecommunications and Information Institute (ATI Institute) partnered with Microsoft Corporation and their Shape the Future team on a Digital Inclusion Economic Impact Model for Arizona which was executed by Microsoft’s partner The Arnold Group at no cost to ATI Institute or the State. The model is designed to measure the economic impact of Digital Inclusion initiatives and the cost of Digital Exclusion. It has been performed across the U.S. in five states and seven cities to date.
The model's target segment consists of disadvantaged school-age children and their families as this group has the greatest long-term effect for the realization of the benefits. Arizona modeling results indicate that students with a home PC and broadband access increase their chance of graduating from High School by 6-8 percentage points and experience an average increase of $1.2M in additional economic and social impact over their lifetime. The affected individuals will also have more employment opportunities benefiting from significant lifetime creation of jobs. By targeting students in poverty, over $32.4 billion in total lifetime economic and social impact can potentially be realized.
