City council meetings are on Tuesdays.? Again the time is 8:30pm. This is an interesting article about Verizon's small cell deployment in Sac. The article seems to indicate that XG, the broker company, is listing Fiber as an asset to small cell 5G operators like Verizon. in addition to? the physical light pole and power availability, there database lists if its fibered,? it would be good to check that with XG.? If this is accurate having publicly owned dark fiber in the City would be a revenue generator for the City. https://www.fiercewireless.com/tech/editor-s-corner-how-city-sacramento-got-to-5g-and-what-it-means-for-rest-u-s? ALSO Comcast DOCSIS 3.1 Gigabit? service is available now in Davis with the higher capacity speeds. Still on Coax, but that's great there are better options now for Davis.? I expect the Comcast guy Philip will let everyone know that tonight.

Industry lobbyists on the FCC BDAC have put forth their recommendation that all municipal networks be privately owned. Last week the CTO of City of New York resigned b/c of all the blatant industry dominated outcomes. This is the Gilded Age again. https://www.fiercetelecom.com/telecom/fcc-s-bdac-falling-apart Thanks RAN -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: CLIC Strongly Rebukes FCC BDAC Process and Outcome Date: Thu, 12 Apr 2018 19:30:11 +0000 From: Coalition for Local Internet Choice Reply-To: Coalition for Local Internet Choice To: Robert CLIC Strongly Rebukes FCC BDAC Process and Outcome Dramatically Undercuts Local Governments Ability to Improve and Accelerate National Broadband Access CLIC Strongly Rebukes FCC BDAC Process and Outcome View this email in your browser *CLIC Strongly Rebukes FCC BDAC Process & Outcome* Dramatically Undercuts Local Governments Ability to Improve and Accelerate National Broadband Access In a strongly worded letter submitted on April 12, 2018, CLIC has communicated to the FCC its deep concerns regarding the selection process and associated restrictive outcomes of its Broadband Deployment Advisory Council (BDAC). As CLIC states: ?The Commission?s startling failure to include adequate local government representation in the BDAC process...has unsurprisingly resulted in BDAC recommendations that would undercut the important potential of local governments to help improve and accelerate broadband access and availability throughout the nation.? ?CLIC?s letter details the failings of the BDAC member selection process and sets forth eight specific concerns with Article 12 of BDAC draft model state code.
