[Davisgig] Fwd: Ammon Idaho Offers a Whole New Kind of Local Internet Choice

[Robert Nickerson]

Hi Davisites

When I was at the BBCC 2016 in Austin, I was struck by how close this 
model is to our DavisGIG model. Its a real Paradigm shift like the IT 
director Bruce has said.

Customers will be able to switch ISPs through software over the open 
access network and city owned fibers.  City gets a lease payment for 
every customer every month to pay back the investment.

A nice thing about this model is that the HOMEOWNER is paying for and 
owning  the drop from the street to the side of their house. That 
totally makes sense to me, as its an improvement to the property and 
passes along with the sale!

EXCITING  - ENTRY POINT NETWORKS which built and operates the software 
Ammon has deployed that allows the residents to switch ISPs on the 
Virtualized Network stack is coming to speak to DavisGIG next week! Too 
bad it's not known as the Davis Model, eh ?

So there is at least one place that is deploying the sort of 
architecture we have advocated.

Here is a video about it -

on how a small town named Ammon, Idaho has taken control of its 
broadband future by not only offering an open access network to its 
residents, but also the option to pay for the network through their 
local property taxes.

<excerpt>
“We’re not just building a Gigabit Fiber Network. We’re trying to change 
the paradigm,” described Bruce Patterson, Technology Director of the 
City of Ammon, Idaho in a recent video by ILSR and Next Century Cities 
<http://localnetchoice.us8.list-manage.com/track/click?u=09c6fc743c87e862042edd5d5&id=4211210a1c&e=d1bb241e3d>. 
Ammon is a town reaching seven square miles and covering about 4,500 
households. Although it is located in a very conservative area of the 
United States, Ammon built a fiber network to cut costs and serve public 
institutions with more modern and reliable Internet. Now, it’s offering 
something it sees as even more conservative: it will offer its residents 
the choice to opt into receiving Internet service from the City’s open 
access, Fiber-to-the-Home network and to pay for that connection through 
their property taxes—a whole new kind of local Internet choice.
