We hesitate to speculate about pricing of such services, at this time, because our technical partners have not yet conducted their detailed analysis. That will certainly be done as part of our formal application.

State and/or Local or Tribal Government Participation in and/or Support for Project

In order for any project to be successful, and especially one of this magnitude with the ability to change the technology potential of the area, every effort will be utilized to consider every segment of the population from the young to the old, the various ethnic groups, persons in various professions and business endeavors, and the specialized interests, and the culture and history of the Native American population.

Already, conversations has ensued with the town of Spring Lake, where we have received a Resolution to engage in an enhanced technology project that will originate there and expand into Cumberland County. Additionally, we have met with and began dialogue on the proposed technological enhancements with Harnett County officials. From there, plans are to meet with representatives from the additional 9 counties, every city, village and town of all Counties to build relationships and include the communities in providing input for the project.

The majority of North Carolina’s American Indian population live in Robeson County (mostly Lumbee) and accounts for 38% of the county’s total population. Thus, every effort and emphasis will be employed to incorporate them in every aspect of this process.

The American Indian tribes in Cumberland County are represented through the Cumberland County Association for Indian People and the organizations addressing the

10

American Indians in all the counties will be approached and included in the collaborations and process.

In the process of requesting and acquiring right-of-ways and permits, our collaborating partner, Copper River Telecom, has already been actively involved in operations and strategic alliances with extensive projects at Ft. Bragg and other military bases and has staff with expertise in this area. Additionally, staff members at OTC have experience and have been involved with permitting processes and right-of way acquisitions from cities, counties, states and railway. Additionally, contacts and collaborations have been ongoing with the Small Business Development Center in NC and all of Chambers of Commerce will be approached, informed and asked to support the technological advancements in their of their respective areas. Early in the process, contacts will be made with the permitting and right-of-ways agencies to engage and get their support.

Existing Providers In the 11 county area, existing Providers are Comcast, Dish Network, Charter Communication. For Time Warner the he basic service price starts at $ 29.99 and internet is available up to 20 Mbps.

Project Timeline; Scalability; Total Business Investment; Investment Needed; Total Project Cost

Is fiber cost prohibitive to deploy in rural areas absent government subsidies and to what extent are nonincumbent entities interested in providing broadband which exceeds the current 4Mb/1Mb broadband requirement under CAF (Connect America Fund).

Our technical partner will assist us in conducting a more formal study of all incumbents and most cost‐effective technical design and network options in our more formal application but generally, yes, rural areas are difficult to cost‐benefit justify in terms of ROI (principally due to the lower subscriber and overall usage demand compared to urban areas). Still, our partners have utilized blown fiber installations, for example, as one aspect of their solutions package to more economically address networking needs while lowering the investment level required.

Where in terms of geographic and demographic characteristics might providers choose to provide broadband over fixed wireless service and at prices reasonably comparable to urban wireline offerings.

Whether the proposal is expected to require onetime or continuous funding and a highlevel estimate of the amount of funding requested.

In our initial assessment, we believe the overall investment required for the entire 11‐county area will be $60 million. However, we have initiated discussions with prospective private investors and will continue to pursue alternative capital planning options. For purposes of this Expression of Interest, we believe we may propose requesting approximately one‐half that amount in government subsidies. Once we see future grant application requirements we will of course blend those requirements with our investment sources to specify the need for requested funds as part of our application.

We assume the 11‐county design and technical network implementation will require continuous intermittent funding during the 24‐36 month development and start‐up phases.

Pertaining to CAF and Broadband Experiments are providers willing and capable of providing broadband with performance characteristics well in excess of incumbent Price Cap carriers for the same amount or less support than that calculated by the forward looking cost model.

12

We have not yet studied the CAF. In the experience of our technical partners often working cooperatively and, at times, in competition with incumbent carriers, their end‐user solutions often require less forward looking support.

As an initial glimpse, our technical partners have provided us the following excerpts as part of their preliminary design:

Private LTE network and fiber backhaul in 11 counties surrounding Ft. Bragg to revive areas and business normally depraved by self‐sustained military facilities.

226 Base stations & 1332 fiber miles estimated.

We commend you in this effort to connect rural communities and are ready to help you close the digital divide. Sincerely, Cassandra Williams Rush, CEO On Time Communications, LLC (803) 397-1859
