Typical Archeological Evaluation Site

Schools are connected at 1Gbps not 3Mbps University Labs have meaningful Connectivity Hospitals and Clinics share specialties Inyo County site for On-Line Voting trial Mammoth, Bishop, Big Pine Broadband Speeds increased 10x, soon to be 1000x Boron, other communities get FTTP USDA Sponsored Economic Development conferences USDA working with Agricultural Sector on conservation and Information-based solutions New Models: Inyo County’s 21st Century Obsidian

“Get Action”

For Discussion Purposes Only

Market Strategy: Be Disruptive

Wholesale Model (GEM Anchors & Last Mile) Flood the region with broadband to stimulate application use and development Establish metro or better pricing and product offering Many points of interconnection, shareable assets

Last Mile Channel Strategy

Adopt model of Cooperation, not Competition Symbiotic relationship – Mutual Benefit Last Mile Providers will stimulate demand Encouraged expansion of Last Mile solutions)

Extending the Reach

Inter-Connecting other Networks for Added Value Grow the Boundaries, Be Inclusive

What’s Next?

• Trans-Sierra Broadband

(Reno to Sacramento)

• South Inyo Broadband

(Support for Obsidian)

• East Mojave Broadband

(I-15 Corridor to Stateline)

Reno Las Vegas

East Mojave Broadband Project

For Discussion Purposes Only

Connect D-395 to Eastern Mojave Extend D-395 Through Barstow to I-15 Connect Community Anchors in Barstow (and other Communities) Last Mile: Tecopa, Shoshone, Chas View Last Mile: Baker, Newbury Springs, Dagget, Yermo Collaborative Funding
