City of Thomasville CNS • In most ways we are the same. • We do have to pay pole attachment fees even in our own city. • We do pay for Make Ready and in some areas this can be very costly. • We do pay taxes even though the local tax is paid to “ourselves” • it is still a cost of business. • We have to submit to the same FCC, PSC, and State regulations. • We hold a CLEC and maintain that. • We are pressured to produce NET profit just like you. • How are we different. • We ultimately answer to a city council who are elected to office. • We have Electric crews in each city who perform make ready for us • in those cities and contract out for work in other cities. • We still have to pay them but our cost is less than a contractor. • All cities use the same Fiber contractor, we keep him pretty busy, • there is some cost saving there because we all negotiated the contract.

You can do this It’s not rocket surgery! What do you need to do the same thing A core network with Internet Access. An Engineer or more who can design, oversee the build, and maintain fiber optic networks A CLEC Negotiate a contract with a make ready contractor Negotiate a contract with a fiber installer for aerial and underground Identify fiber partners and negotiate reciprocal lease terms Do the math Double check the math Have someone else check your math Always include contingency monies, you just never know. The more of these you do in-house the less you spend. FISPALIVE 2014
