Gig.U and FTTH:

Changing the Equation

3/36

Answer

C+ O > (r)R + EB


4/36

Answer

C+ O > (r)R + EB

C Capital Expenditures

O Operating Expenditures

r Risk

R- Incremental Revenues (New Revenues Minus Current Revenues)

EB- Ecosystem Benefits (Benefits that drive increased revenues

outside the communities where the new or incremental

investments are made.)

Solution: Change the Math

C+ O < (r)R + EB

The United States is not advancing as fast as others

Home Internet May Get EvenFaster in South KoreaBy Mark McDonald, February 21, 2011

Other countries are investing in Gigabit connectivity . . .

Cheap, Ultrafast Broadband?Hong Kong Has ItBy Randall Stross, March 5, 2011

South Korea already claims the worlds fastest

Internet connections the fastest globally byfar but that is hardly good enough for the

government here.

By the end of 2012, South Korea intends to

connect every home in the country to the

Internet at one gigabit per second. That would

be a tenfold increase from the already blazing

national standard and more than 200 times as

fast as the average household setup in the

United States.

Hong Kong residents can enjoy astoundingly fast

broadband at an astoundingly low price. Itbecame available last year, when a scrappy

company called Hong Kong Broadband Network

introduced a new option for its fiber-to-the-

home service: a speed of 1,000 megabits a

second--known as a gig-- for less than $26 a

month. In the United States, we dont have

anything close to that. But we could. And we

should.

. . . but Gigabit connectivity is not advancing in the United States

In 21st Century economy, we can lower barriers

to innovation by increasing bandwidth.

Economic clusters require access to abundant

The University-Community Next Generation

Innovation Project

Over the spring and summer of 2011, 37 leading researchuniversities, working in partnership with their local

communities, formed Gig.U

Our Mission

Our Purpose

Accelerate the deployment of world-leading, next generation networks in the

United States

Provide an opportunity to lead in the nextgeneration of ultra-high speed network

services and applications
