Broadband to the User:US Market Development and Options Lisbon February 13, 2003
Fiber to the Home (FTTH) • “Home Run” • Separate fiber to each home from Head End or Central Office • Pros: • Ultimate performance • Highest flexibility • Minimal interoperability and upgradeability issues • Cons: • Extremely high cost • Incremental build-out expensive as well • “Active Star” • Fiber runs from Head End to remote hubs with switching equipment • Pros: • High performance • Diversity of services • Cons: • High equipment costs • Reliability issues: need for power at every remote • Aesthetics, real estate for remotes • Passive Optical Network (“PON”) • Single fiber runs from Head End to hubs with passive optical splitters • Pros: • Lowest life-cycle costs • Simplest design, minimal need for field electronics • Highest reliability • Cons: • Requires simultaneous upgrade of remotes and Head End • Shared resource: bottlenecks upstream, signal compatibility • Gigabit Ethernet (“GigE”) • Giga Bit Ethernet is a technology which uses “distributed” routers allowing direct 110 Base T or higher connections to the home. • Pros: • Simple Interface • High Data Rate • Cons: • Shared local connection • Increases complexity and management

What is Municipal Broadband? • Optical fiber network owned by municipality (Town / Utility) • Fiber connectivity to homes and commercial properties: 100 Mbps service, Fiber to the Home (FTTH) • Integration of school, fire, police, public safety, healthcare • Open access network allowing any service provider/ISP • Municipality provides “bit” backbone only; service provider owns end-users
Concept of Municipal Broadband Network and Services ISP Integrator & Carrier Value Added Packager Municipal/Town Broadband Basic services would be basic ISP and valued added ISP based services to end user Added Services would be Video, VPNs, Voice Over IP and other advanced services.
Opportunity Size • Have budgeted 15 municipalities under definitive contract in 2003; already have 8 with preliminary agreements • Anticipated over 300 towns by end of year 6, regional and national • Revenue goes to $100 million, NOI peaks at 61% • CCF requirements are $5 million, primarily for build out of NOCs and working capital, use of proceeds can be throttled by demand • Capital can be throttled on buildout
