01:00Take This Broadband Plan to the Bank - Literally!
Tags: community broadband public private partnership funding strategy networks
Communities may be leaving an awful lot of money on the table for funding broadband because they're not going to the most logical money source on the planet - the bank. Stearns Brothers & Co Senior VP Aaron Gadouas explains that approaching banks and other tradition financial institutions is a viable option that more communities should explore.
Critiquing the nine business models presented in Craig Settles' Building the Gigabit City (Chapter 5), Gadouas lays out tactics for preparing your community to take it to the bank and get financing:
* securing credible memoranda of understanding
* pre-selling network service subscriptions
* leveraging support from local banks and credit unions
* avoiding obvious and not so obvious pitfalls
Mr. Gadouas, with 15 years experience in corporate finance and new product development, is widely recognized for his track record of innovation that includes creating a public-private financing program for healthcare organizations. At a recent Kansas City conference, he presented government and private sector organizations with a game plan for financing broadband infrastructure. -

Crowdfunding for Broadband Gathers Steam. Get on the Train!
Tags: crowdfund community broadband mapping strategy
Blacksburg, VA raised $91,000 to build a 1 gig network downtown using crowdfunding (bit.ly/ZVsVIz). A Kansas City neighborhood crowdfunded a wireless network buildout. Have we found the key to unlocking a big increase in broadband networks?
As interest in this tactic builds, two community broadband veterans are rolling out a Web tool to crowdfund, aggregate demand and coordinate stakeholders. The design of this service reflects a belief that funding is just one of the challenges communities must address.
Crowdfiber co-founders Greg Richardson and Bailey White advocate an integrated approach to broadband deployment that builds a pre-launch subscriber base while simultaneously raising money to fund the network. In addition, communities must be adept at organizing and project management.
Listeners come away from this interview with a better understanding of:
* crowdfunding best practices; * using the Google “fiberhoods” tactic to map demand; and * organizing stakeholders (a.k.a. herding cats).

It Takes a Village & Broadband to Raise a Startup
Tags: Kansas City Google Fiber home based business broadband strategy Fiber to the Home
63% of participants in a national survey have seen communities use broadband to harness home-based businesses into a economic engine, or believe strongly that communities can do this. Gigabit Nation goes to Kansas City to spotlight this dynamic at work.
Kansas City Startup Village (KCSV) participants give listeners first-hand details on how a booming entrepreneurial movement has taken root and is expanding thanks to Google Fiber. They offer valuable lessons to other communities that want to do likewise. Today's guests are:
* Adam Arredondo and Matthew Marcus, co-founders of Local Ruckus and KCSV Co-Leaders;
* Mike Demarais, Co-Founder, Handprint
* Ben Barreth, founder of the Homes for Hackers program
* Brittain Kovac, staff member of startup Leap2 and Event Manager for KCSV; and
* Jonny Kot, community leader and founder of Tech-Pointer.
Our guests have complementary and contrasting viewpoints on:
* the role of Google Fiber in driving entrepreneurship in Kansas City
* how communities can encourage and support startups
* sustaining and expanding entrepreneur support programs.
Listeners can download a copy of the survey analysis report that addresses the increase of home-based businesses and other economic outcomes broadband influences.

Use Mapping Data to Make Better Broadband Policy
Tags: north carolina mapping montana strategy broadband
This session helps state officials and project teams involved with broadband more effectively capture and manage broadband mapping data. Equally important, we explore how the apparatus for gathering coverage and availability data can be put to greater use for economic development and other useful policymaking.
Angela Bailey, Director of NC Broadband, a division of the North Carolina Dept of Commerce, and Jennie Stapp, Montana State Librarian and Montana GIS Coordinator Stu Kirkpatrick discuss lessons learned from their respective states’ mapping projects. They also explain how they turned this, combined with other state data, into policies and action.
As we come to grips with the fact that stimulus money for mapping runs out in 2014, and some begin taking appropriate action, it is important that other states quickly follow suite. Our
