The short list is 2 - CTC and CCG. The plan is for staff to check
references and BATF members to review online data, particularly a recent
report that each firm picks and emails by Dec 7 as the one they see most
relevant to our situation. If we reject those candidates the second tier is
DesignNine and Magellan. We are contemplating an interview process that
will take place at the Jan 25, 2016 meeting, with a prior meeting on Jan 4
to discuss the interview process.

Welcome to the updated Community Broadband Networks weekly newsletter! We recently upgraded our website to a better design, with new features and the newsletter got a face lift also. Some important notes:
* Please let us know if you have any problems. Most of the reviews we have received have been positive, with a few notes regarding suggesting changes or alerting us to broken areas. Please let us know if you see anything you would like changed.
* We are continuing our policy of not tracking you - whether via email or via the website. It is therefore more important that you tell us what you like and what you don't from time to time.
* I'm sure something else will break in coming weeks. Dealing with Apple to keep our podcast feed and page up in iTunes has been aggravating to say the least. But we are working on it and hope everything will be smoothed out shortly.
* Please help us continue our work with a donation - https://www.razoo.com/us/story/Institute-For-Local-Self-Reliance?utm_source=Community+Broadband+Networks+Newsletter+List&utm_campaign=e7c79b330d-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2016_12_06&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_171bbbcade-e7c79b330d-82753625.

Thank you for working in this important field!  We need your energy to make sure our communities can thrive with the rapid technological changes!

Sometimes speed is not the answer. Chattanooga boasts EPB Fiber, a municipal network that can handle speeds of up to 10 Gigabits (https://muninetworks.org/content/chattanooga-crushes-it-marketing-technology-and-nearby-communities-community-broadband-bits-?utm_source=Community+Broadband+Networks+Newsletter+List&utm_campaign=e7c79b330d-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2016_12_06&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_171bbbcade-e7c79b330d-82753625)  (that?s 10,000 Megabits) per second. That, however, is not what won it recognition this week.

Seattle hasn?t given up the possibility of fast, affordable, reliable connectivity for all.

The city has long struggled with how to improve Internet access for residents and businesses. They commissioned a feasibility study in 2015 (https://muninetworks.org/content/seattle-reporters-interview-chris-mitchell-about-broadband-feasibility-study?utm_source=Community+Broadband+Networks+Newsletter+List&utm_campaign=e7c79b330d-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2016_12_06&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_171bbbcade-e7c79b330d-82753625)  to learn more about the cost and potential for a citywide broadband utility, but the hefty estimated cost - $480 million to $665 million - subdued the conversation.

Cities across America are implementing policies that create friendly environments for Internet Service Providers in order to encourage competition. In San Francisco, the Board of Supervisors is now considering legislation (https://muninetworks.org/content/san-francisco-proposal-aims-giving-multi-tenants-access-choice-isps?utm_source=Community+Broadband+Networks+Newsletter+List&utm_campaign=e7c79b330d-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2016_12_06&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_171bbbcade-e7c79b330d-82753625)  that will create choice for residents or businesses in multi-welling units, or MDUs. In episode 231, Mark Farrell, a member of the Board of Supervisors, joins us to discuss the proposal.

Storms Don't Stop Smart-Grid In Chattanooga (https://muninetworks.org/content/storms-dont-stop-smart-grid-chattanooga?utm_source=Community+Broadband+Networks+Newsletter+List&utm_campaign=e7c79b330d-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2016_12_06&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_171bbbcade-e7c79b330d-82753625)

On November 27th, the Chattanooga area was pelted with rough storms. According to the city's Electric Power Board (EPB) spokesman John Pless (http://www.timesfreepress.com/news/business/aroundregion/story/2016/nov/30/epb-smart-grid-avoids-90-percent-expected-power-outages/400550/?utm_content=buffer3278b&utm_source=Community+Broadband+Networks+Newsletter+List&utm_campaign=e7c79b330d-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2016_12_06&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_171bbbcade-e7c79b330d-82753625) , the utility smart-grid kept the lights on for 90 percent of the city?s electricity users who would have otherwise experienced an outage. A smart-grid detects where damage occurs and allows the network to self-heal when possible, often in seconds and undetected by electricity users.

Chairman Tom Wheeler will be stepping down as FCC Chairman as of January 20, 2017; the day President Obama leaves office. The decision is not surprising, as FCC chairmen typically leave their position when a new administration takes the helm, but Wheeler had not yet made it official. His departure emphasizes the apprehensive uncertainty that has troubled advocates of municipal networks, local telecommunications authority, and network neutrality, as well as a long list of other public policy concerns that affect our future through technology.
