“[Though the Alberta] SuperNet has points of presence in more than 400 communities in the province, a universal fee structure designed for affordability, and offers high quality, high reliability connectivity between the last mile and the internet backbone … broadband service to rural Alberta residents did not improve once the SuperNet was operational.”

SWIFT will not help WOWC meet its goal of last mile fibre to the rate payers Fibre transport facilities are already prevalent throughout SW Ontario & Middlesex Will needlessly duplicate competitive networks that already exist and will waste funding $$$

Feasibility Study

1. Data collected and mapped from providers

and users (MUSH sector)

2. Problems identified

– SWO has poor broadband in comparison to GTHA – Providers pick broadband winners and losers based on ROI – Very little competition to improve price and service quality

3. SWIFT network is feasible to build

– One time NBCF funding, ongoing funding for last mile based on residuals from rates

Execulink will not use the SWIFT network

When we invest in a community by building the last mile, it is a 50 year investment, we will not rent facilities for 50 years, we will build it ourselves. If a community already has a fibre to the home provider, we will not compete in that market. It is too expensive to build last mile to not get most of the market share. A competitively available RAN will

nly ever get one carrier per community.

“The challenge that the WOWC now faces is in assessing the

perational feasibility of the SWIFT model, to understand

whether the network will be able to attract a critical mass of users, and realize the promise of increased competition and improved service delivery across the region.”

SLIDE 14

Given the knowledge and experience of Execulink and 9 other Independent Operators in the region, who have privately built over $125M of Fibre Networks, we don’t understand why the WOWC is so reluctant to heed our sound advice about the SWIFT Network. Don’t build another RAN … it won’t be used Invest in the last mile!
