CAI Inventory Key Learnings – General
• 26% using ARRA-funded fiber• Speed tests:
o Download: 2.27 – 65 Mbso Upload: .34 – 56 Mbs
• Broadband satisfaction based on:o Type of technologyo Providero Priceo Familiarity, expertise & use
10
Inventory Key Learnings – Libraries
• Communications top broadband use by staff• Patron broadband use: <5%-70%• Most frequent internet challenge “too slow” – but
speeds matched cost• Other challenges were limited:
o Hourso Staffingo Fundso Equipment o Technical expertise
11
Inventory Key Learnings – Medical
• Most healthcare facilities use fiber• Internet services rated “very satisfied”
or “satisfied” • ARRA-funded fiber concerns:
o Priceo Future availabilityo “Dismal” speed test results (one site visit)
12
Inventory General Learnings – Municipal
• Use at additional County locations is currently cost prohibitive
• County courthouse use is robust
13
Goal: Infrastructure Inventory–Telecom Providers
Develop a broadband provider inventory & collect data about current & planned
services.
Big question:Can we learn more about services in the County
than currently reported on the WSBO map?
14
Key Learnings –Telecom Providers
Yes, but it won’t be easy!
• List of providers grows from 13 to 26
• Competitive market made survey largely unproductive
• New Service Providers
15
Goal: Assessment – Community
Develop an outreach & assessment process to collect data from the education
community.
Big question:Would access to high speed broadband help
mitigate youth outmigration?
16
Key Learnings – Community Assessment
• Superintendents & Career Counselors Queried– Current access to broadband– Broadband and youth
outmigration– Need for educational
opportunities beyond HS
• NoaNet built to some schools after all– Are they connected? If not, why?
17
Goal: Evaluate PUD as Middle Mile Provider
Identify Washington PUDs supporting broadband services, gather information about best practices & lessons learned.
Big question:Should the Lincoln County PUD get into
the broadband business?
