• As a nation• Minnesota• In this region• In your community
My assumption: The best broadband is high-speed, low-cost, ubiquitous and reliable!

Minnesota Broadband Statistics
• Center for Rural Policy – Late 2007 data– Broadband Users
• 52.3% of rural residents• 57.8% statewide average• 63% metro residents
– Dial Up Users• 38% statewide say broadband too expensive• 30% rural say broadband not available
![Page 11: Broadband Policy Workshop Mankato](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042723/5431f55d8d7f72ba1d8b4a69/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Ubiquity ScenariosMetro Area
• Metro Area– Duopoly almost everywhere– Prime business areas (Downtowns, Eagan,
Eden Prairie, etc.) served by multiple fiber networks by CLECs
![Page 12: Broadband Policy Workshop Mankato](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042723/5431f55d8d7f72ba1d8b4a69/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Ubiquity- Greater Minnesota• Duopoly (cable and DSL) in county seats and other towns over 1,000• CLEC
– 100% CLEC overbuild in limited number of Qwest communities– Cherry-picking CLEC in many Qwest areas via fiber and leased copper
• Broadband in rural countryside highly variable depending on provider• Certain coverage in rural coops• General coverage in private rural companies• Increasing coverage by smaller investor owned providers• Limited coverage by larger investor owned providers
• Wireless coverage– Fixed wireless dependent on topography and trees– Mobile wireless dependent on market
• Smallest communities – Single provide or no provider depending on local telephone company and
wireless coverage
• According to Connected Minnesota, over 90% of MN households have available broadband services of at least 786k.

Where do we want to go?Discussion
• What goal for bandwidth?• What applications are important to you now
and into the future?• Should the goal have tiers, depending on
location, user types and applications?• Should mobile broadband be a part of this
discussion?• Broadband – essential utility or market
service?

What are the best ways to stimulate broadband development?
• Free markets and private investment
• Government incentives• Government mandates• Public-private partnerships • Public networks with private
providers• Public utilities
• Private
• PublicWhere do cooperatives fit into this list?
