Addressing Broadband
Door County Broadband Efforts
Step 1: 2001 Door County Technology Council forms & develops mission:
“The Door County Technology Council is made up of private and public sector organizations working to provide for the telecommunications infrastructure needs of Door County to improve the competitiveness of its businesses and the quality of life of its residents.”
http://www.doorcountybusiness.com/community-development/technology-council/
Door County: Next Steps
Informal analysis of Tech Council members identifies two main issues:
Lack of redundancy High cost for limited broadband services
2002 - Infrastructure Assessment
2003 - Technology Needs & Market Study2008 - Economic Development Corp.
strategy: Move to a New Economy model that includes and
supports… technology infrastructure….
Door County: Continued Action
Action StepsContinue to educate citizens and business owners
Seek local, state and federal support for building telecommunications infrastructure in a rural county.
Develop promising and feasible approaches to providing broadband service to Door County.
Develop a marketing plan that leverages the improvement in telecommunications to retain and attract businesses.
Fiber Optic Backbone Installation Began with ARRA (Federal Stimulus) application 2011 – Green Bay To Sturgeon Bay 2012-13 – Sturgeon Bay to Gills Rock 4G service to all of Door County
Door County Results: Improved telecommunications infrastructure

Building is about far more than merely providing access to the technology. Engaging people in the community throughout the process is critical to the long-term success of the effort.

THE THREE LAKES MODEL Building Community Broadband Subscribership
STEP ONE: change and commit the local government mindset must change local taxpayer dollars must be committed to the effort
STEP TWO: assess and decide take an inventory of what you have and make a list of what you want /
create a coverage map choose what broadband options you want to pursue
STEP THREE: collaborate and contact arrange meetings with your local service providers go to the technology – you’ll be waiting forever for it to come to you
Without the support of the local government a broadband implementation plan has no chance. As hard as it is to budget funds in these difficult times, that’s precisely what must be done.
THE THREE LAKES MODEL Building Community Broadband SubscribershipSTEP FOUR: implement and execute as service options come online, educate your residents
on the choices enter into agreements with providers to build/create
infrastructure
STEP FIVE: evaluate and refine how are we doing, where are we strong, where do we
need improvement find/fill the gaps in your local coverage area /
upgrade service offerings
The job never ends. It’s a ongoing cycle of continuous evaluation and improvement. The collaborations you form will constantly expose you to groups with great ideas you can use and assimilate.
