Hi <br>
<br>
I would...<br>
<br>
Do you think its feasible we request that whomever puts this in, it
be open to use by other providers already present in the City?<br>
<br>
Like Instaconnect, Omsoft and Cal.net? or other new companies that
want to sell over it? An open network type of thing? <br>
<br>
I have desires and ideas to do this sort of thing, just don't have
the investors to fund it. <br>
<br>
The first step would be to make a CLEC, which is a phone/telecom
company. It can take about a year, but its a fairly straightforeward
process, but then it can negotiate agreements with like ATT, PGE
and the City to get access to the poles. <br>
<br>
If we made a community based non profit type CLEC, that had all the
stakeholders involved through its membership and or board, it could
be the entity that takes on the debt to put in the project, and make
sure there are enough providers running over it. <br>
<br>
Burlington VT is a good example <br>

Thanks all for your thoughts<br>

I just saw this mentioned in the DCN email news update:

3. Citywide broadband fiber
<br>
This subject will be worth tracking. On the consent calendar of
the April
<br>
22 Davis City Council meeting, item G asks the council to
authorize Chief
<br>
Innovation Officer Rob White to seek proposals to use "city
infrastructure
<br>
to install a communications network that provides ultra-high
speed,
<br>
broadband fiber (gigabit and above), and other next-generation
<br>
communications services citywide."

Indeed, something work tracking. Anyone have some good ideas on
how we might track that issue?
<br>
<br>
Thanks,
<br>
Braden
