Why Broadband Matters …

Improves business competitiveness, innovation, and growth… leading to job creation

Key for business retention and expansion

Enhances quality of life and household income

Enables “smart” municipal services

Community benefits are not considered by ISPs, as they are outside of their business case

It’s more than just availability/speed…

lifestyle Uptake

Large Businesses

IT staff, Collaboration, Security, Cloud Applications Speed Competitiveness

Collaboration Uptake

SMEsEmail, websites, basic online tools, all accomplished with “basic” service

SpeedHow does fast Internet impact my bottom line?

Limited Uptake

Broadband’s Applications are Technologies, not Utilities

When people buy, adopt, and utilize technology – they buy benefits, not features

… so driving awareness and utilization is the next challengeFor further information, see “No Field of Dreams: Eliminating the Waiting Game and Driving Uptake”

What’s Preventing Businesses from Meaningful Use?

Time and effort required to develop expertise

Lack of internal resource with necessary skills

Too much information - not enough time to research

Lack of local external support resources

Affordability of local external support resources

Higher priorities to focus on

Broadband Demand – what are we building for?

Active Demand Latent Demand Potential Demand

Economic Growth is Driven by Utilization

Utilization Growth

Availability Adoption Utilization

Broadband availability is often the primary focus, however …

Subscription Revenues- Operations & Maintenance Investments

= PROFIT vs.Economic Case

Increased business productivity and revenues+ Good, high-paying new local jobs

+ better quality of life, competitive Internet choice - Investment, utilization programs and business support

= BENEFITS FOR THE COMMUNITY

The Economic Case for Broadband Cannot Be Found on a Balance Sheet

“Off- balance-sheet”

Community benefits > Network Profit

Balance sheet

Business Case

Provide information and tools to drive meaningful use of Internet applications

Help them understand the benefits of going online – not just ‘nice to have’

Develop a business case for each business to take action

Personalize the Value of Broadband to Local Businesses

Drive more effective internet utilization

This is a process!

Local business retention and expansion through better use of technology

Investments that maximize local economic growth
