Proper Previous Planning Leads to Broadband Success

Two years before the first broadband stimulus app was filed, OpenCape Corporation was formed and creating a plan for successful broadband deployment in Massachusetts' Cape Cod region. This nonprofit's planning put them well ahead of the 2100 other communities vying for a piece of the stimulus pie.

OpenCape not only won $40 million in Dept. Of Commerce BTOP and other funding, the organization is well on its way to deploying its network. Founder and CEO Dan Gallagher shares with our audience details on how to:

• corral diverse stakeholders into a cohesive planning body;
• structure critical components of your plan to attract supporters and financing;
• move stakeholders forward from plan to actions that get results; and
• keep your plan on track as you overcome implementation challenges.
