Editor's Notes

  1. How Does broadband investment impact local economies:- First, there is the direct investment in deployment. When you spend money on installing and operating broadband infrastructure….income and employment are created (ARRA grant: Divide by $92,000 = 1 job year, Presidents Council of Economic Advisors)
  2. ~$1.4 billion for wired over 5 years (construction and operations)/$290 million = 4.8 year pay back (After that you would only have the annual operating expenses of ~$89 million with an annual return of $290 million.~$2.6 billion for wireless over 5 years (construction and operations)/340 million = 7.7 year pay back
  3. 2010 study
  4. Not really new (new to me) ….2012
  5. $2,528 per person per year./12 months = $211 per year (huh….about the average cost of a 1 Gbps connection)“In our analysis, we took into consideration the value derived from communication, content (entertainment, news, and socia media), search, commerce, and job searches,. We used a “loss aversion technique” to avoid anchoring the data to the current prices of goods and services – many of which are free – and to determine the true value that people place on them.”Loss aversion = people's tendency to strongly prefer avoiding losses to acquiring gains. Loss aversion implies that one who loses $100 will lose more satisfaction than another person will gain satisfaction from a $100 windfall.
  6. The Reedsburg municipal utility recently announced and published their monthly rate of $274.99 per month. That is very close to the national average for the 20 communities that we have identified that have a published rates on the web. These prices range from $34.95 – $999.95 with an average of $211.55 per month.
