What is infrastructure?
Socio-technical structures that support society
Roads, water supply, waste water, power grids, flood
management systems, telecommunicationsInternet,
telephone, cable, wireless, broadband
Typically owned by governments or public utility companies
Functionally, facilitates production of goods and services
Enables transport of raw materials to the production plant and
distribution of finished products to market

U.S. INTERNET INFRASTRUCTURE
What is high speed Internet?
A computer network linked to a worldwide network of computers

Internet is carried on phone, cable, fiber and wireless infrastructure
Computer generated video, voice and data is converted to digital bits
Internet speed - rate that bits of information move through a network
Internet speed controlled by telecom carrier
What telecom technology carries Internet?
Phone, cable and wireless carries 25 Megabits per second Internet

Fiber carries Internet at terabits per second, thousands of times faster
Phone, cable and wireless use fiber for backbone networks
Phone and cable must extend fiber to every home and business
________________________________________________________________________________
LAUNCHING JULIET
STATUS OF HIGH SPEED INTERNET INTERNATIONALLY
U.S. ranks 15th globally in deploying broadband
No broadband available in many rural areas

Urban broadband rates less than 25 Megabits per second (Mbps) speed
Most U.S. broadband delivered on copper-wire based infrastructure
Most urban and rural areas are underserved in comparison to overseas
Portions of Europe and Asia deployed fiber-to-the premise (FTTP) networks

100 Mbps, bidirectional, high speed Internet available to homes and business
FTTP easily upgradeable by changing end equipmentnot replacing wire
Japan upgrading FTTP to 1 Gigabits per second (G/bps) Internet in 2008

G/bps, a thousand times greater than Mbps
Terabits per second (T/bps) thousands of times greater than Mbps
Fiber has unlimited capacity of terabits per second

LAUNCHING JULIET
U.S. NEXT GENERATION INTERNET PROBLEM
U.S. cant compete globally with 25 Mbps Internet offered by current

telecom carriers
Overseas competitors use 100 Mbps Internet on FTTP networks
Japan started upgrading FTTP to 1 G/bps Internet in 2008
Only FTTP, not phone or cable networks, upgradeable to 1G/bps

Phone and cable companies upgrade copper to 25 Mbps Internet

instead of investing in FTTP
U.S. must deploy fiber in JULIET conduits as part of the

Infrastructure Stimulus Program

WHY FIBER TO THE PREMISE NETWORKS NOW? (FTTP)
FTTP, (not copper, coax, wireless) upgradeable to 1 G/bps Internet
Upgrading phone and cable to less than FTTP wastes taxpayer dollars
One local FTTP network meets current and future Internet requirements
Private phone, cable and wireless companies buy FTTP from government
Government ownership eliminates need for private investment in duplicate

FTTP infrastructuresduplication wastes taxpayer dollars
Wholesale rates guarantee FTTP access to incumbents and competitors
Installing government FTTP in JULIET reduces deployment costs by 70%

TELECOM FACTOR IN U.S. GLOBAL COMPETITIVENESS
FIBER MUST REPLACE LAST MILE PHONE AND CABLE LINES
Twisted Pair Phone Upgraed

Carries 25 Mbps Internet
Coax Cable Upgraded

Carries 25 Mbps Internet
Only fiber upgradeable to 100 Mbps to 1 G/bps to 2 G/bps Internet and beyond.
Europeans and Asians already use FTTP Nets carrying bidirectional 100 Mbps Internet.
Japan upgrading FTTP from 100 Mbps and 1 G/bps to 2 G/bps Internet.
Upgrading to less than FTTP capacity wont meet future needs and is a waste of money.

U.S. SUBSIDY OF PRIVATE TELECOM INDUSTRY
From Harvards Nieman Watchdog Project:

By 2006, according to telecommunication companies own documents,
86 million [U.S.] customers should have received 45 Mbps [bidirectional]
Internet fiber optic service, replacing the [phone companys] copper
wiring. . . [From 1996-2006,] America paid over $200 billion in . . . fees as
well as tax and other financial incentives to improve subscriber lines, and
there is nothing to show for it. *

Typical range of spacing requirements limits number of wires
Lowest wire 25 from ground
Electric wire on top3.5 from telecom lines
Telecom lines1 apart

How many new entrants can access utility poles?
How high can poles be extended before becoming unstable?
Utility poles vulnerable during storms causing outages

UTILITY POLES COSTLY, DANGEROUS, OBSOLETE
Over 88 million utility poles vulnerable to storms and accidents

Fallen poles block streets, transport and commerce
Fallen electric lines carry live current and create safety hazards
Electric and telecom outages, take days and weeks to restore, and
negatively impact economy, small businesses and hourly wage workers
Utility poles, a 19th Century technology, must be relocated to JULIET to
accommodate 21st Century economic and communications needs

The Interstate highway system transformed the 20th Century economy
Eisenhower built the interstate system with a capacity 10 times greater than
was needed in the fifties.
The Internet highway, transformed the 21st Century economy, and requires
FTTP networks upgradeable to 1 G/bps capacity, the new global standard
Good news: FTTP networks can be deployed in JULIET conduits for one third

MOVING TO FTTP INTERNET
In thirty years, the nation transitioned from the Industrial to the Information Age. Now
Daniel Pink describes a seismic . . . shift . . . moving from an economy and a society
built on the logical, linear, computer-like capabilities of the Information Age to [one]
built on the inventive, empathetic, big-picture capabilities of whats rising in its place,
the Conceptual Age. *
A graphics and innovation-based Conceptual Age requires transporting more video
intensive digital information than the U.S. Internet can handle. Dont we need local
fiber-to-the-premise networks carrying G/bps Internet in the 21st Century?

ABOUT US
A specialist in designing telecom plans for local governments and public sector agencies, Ms.
Stulls twenty-seven years of public sector experience includes enforcing cable franchises,
conducting needs assessments, implementing public, educational and government access
systems and institutional networks, integrating telecom within municipal operating and economic
development departments, training staff and restructuring delivery of public service. In the
eighties, Ms. Stull acquired a telecom planning grant from the John and Mary Markle Foundation
to develop the first Local Area Network Plan for a major city. As a result of her work in the
regulatory arena, Ms. Stull testified on behalf of National Association of Telecommunications
Officers and Advisors (NATOA) at the U.S. Senate Public Hearings opposing legislation leading
up to passage of the 1984 Cable Act. Ms. Stull presents seminars and helps communities
identify initiatives designed to compete in a 21st Century, Internet dependent, global economy.
