Hi Folks

I'm working up a FLAT that will USPS EDDM to 20,000 or so homes the week 
of 11.13, in support of the Broadband Survey. This has to go to the 
printer by tomorrow at the latest, and the flat layout is currently 
underway.

I'm sharing the copy which will mostly be on the rear side of the flat

Robert,

*Every City Needs a Broadband Strategy*

The range of broadband issues relevant to municipal leaders continues to 
grow. ?Pressing issues at the national and local level include the role 
of communications on economic development, the lack of competitive 
options for internet access, the high cost of services, requests by 
wireless companies to site 5G cell towers around the city, the impact of 
the digital divide on underprivileged citizens, privacy issues and net 
neutrality.

Until now, municipalities have mostly been watching from the sidelines 
while private companies have taken control of wireless and wired 
communications systems. ?With that control, these companies have decided 
where they will build, what they will build, what the price will be, 
what services will operate on the network, and the kind of innovation 
that will happen on these systems.? However, the network is now so 
fundamental to modern life and economic development that municipalities 
can no longer afford to merely watch from the sidelines. Municipal 
leaders must develop robust strategies around broadband issues with an 
eye toward the long-term viability of their communities.

As cities wrestle with their role in these issues, city leaders should 
first develop sound strategies before thinking about feasibility or 
implementing a particular solutions.? Strategies need to solve the 
fundamental problem with current communication systems which is, 
*incumbent network operators want to serve subscribers just enough to 
make the maximum profit.? Cities, counties and subscribers seek systems 
that profit just enough to provide the maximum service.*

*_5 Key Strategic Recommendations we make to our clients include the 
following_*/*-*
/

1. ?Digital roads will be as important in the next 50 years as physical 
roads have been in the past 50 years. ?Digital roads should be organized 
like physical roads. ?Municipalities should own and control digital 
roads and the Private Sector should provide services running over those 
roads.

2.???Systems which separate infrastructure and services and force 
services to the cloud will lead to real competition, lower prices and 
accelerated innovation.

3.???By owning and controlling essential broadband infrastructure, 
cities can create networks that are flexible, evolvable, sustainable and 
scalable.

4.???There is enough money being spent every year by consumers to fund 
robust fiber optic networks throughout any city. ?The problem is not 
where to find the money but rather what financial structure is 
appropriate to finance strategic projects. Cities are positioned to 
simultaneously lower costs and drive up value for consumers.

5.???In the absence of municipal intervention, current broadband 
providers will trend toward monopolies with higher prices and lower 
value. ?As recently happened with FCC regulations for 5G cell placement, 
cities will increasingly lose control and influence over this essential 
infrastructure if they don?t approach broadband communications 
strategically.

In subsequent posts we will do a deeper dive on ?

1) How to finance broadband networks with no municipal debt,

2) ?The significance of advances in networking technology,

3) ?Examples of cities that are winning the strategic game, and

4) ?Why the future requires us to rethink broadband systems.

If you are interested in creating a broadband strategy for your city, 
please contact us.

Thanks,

Devin

Message-ID: <59f164bd-a35b-d75e-0785-5313bb24672b@dcn.org>

Hi Folks

So I just dropped of 4704 mail pieces at the post office, and will drop 
off more tomorrow until we have sent all 20k out to Davis based carrier 
routes.

On those fliers I direct people to fill out an online survey that we can 
use to compare and contrast with the phone survey.

It can be found at www.davisgig.org/survey. People should start hitting 
it tomorrow afternoon as mail is dropped.

I was not able to spell or grammar check it yet, but intend to do so 
tonight. Please provide any feedback either to the list or directly to 
help at dcn.org, and if you want to be an editor on the form? to make 
changes, let me know and I can try to add you this afternoon.

ALSO - Im going to post to nextdoor.com about this tonight. I can cover 
East Davis like Loyola/Pole Line neighborhoods. If anyone is in other 
parts of Davis that can post the blurb about the survey in your 
neighborhood's nextdoor.com please advise. I'll send the blurb out tonight.

It would be nice if you would be able to make comments and gather 
questions too to generate buzz. It would be interesting to see if anyone 
mentions taking the survey.

Thanks All

Organization: 	DavisGIG Committee of DCN
To: 	Robert Nickerson <omrob at dcn.org>



Hello Davisites,

DavisGIG is pleased to report the City is conducting a phone survey 
about city owned fiber optic broadband that is now under way. We are 
also conducting a web version of the survey at www.davisgig.org/survey. 
Please see this letter below that is being sent to 20000 households and 
business in Davis, thanks to your support and donations.

Thanks for your time, and as we have said multiple times in the past. 
Brand new, publicly owned telecommunications infrastructure, is 
worthwhile, will last decades, and takes time to implement!

*Davis, CA*? has a Task Force evaluating municipal ownership of Fiber 
Optic Internet Infrastructure. This would mean our community would 
invest in the construction of publicly-owned "tubes" to the Internet. 
Fiber Optic is the single best, most reliable Internet carrier cable. It 
lasts decades, and the lasers used to send Internet packets down the 
thin glass tubes are easy, and? inexpensive to upgrade, and continuously 
improved.

As an important part of its process for evaluating community fiber for 
Davis, the City's Task Force wants to hear your opinion. The Broadband 
Advisory Task Force has commissioned a phone survey to help it assess 
interest in a municipal broadband network for Davis.

The survey begins 11/13 and lasts for a few weeks. In addition, DavisGIG 
has a short form survey at www.davisgig.org/survey. We strongly 
encourage you to prepare and respond to this phone survey as well as the 
web-based one. Please have your broadband bill and speeds at hand in 
order? to respond to the interviewer.

Make your City more resilient, see to its long term fiscal solvency, and 
reduce your monthly broadband bills with community fiber.

*Unleash the talent.*

Municipal broadband disrupts the market dominance of the 2 main 
carriers. A community-owned open fiber network would unleash Internet 
R&D activity in Davis as citizens and entrepreneurs use it for superior 
Internet access, reliability and performance. In addition to super-fast 
Internet access, a municipal broadband network will bring new opportunities

New businesses and entrepreneurs will be able to use this fiber network, 
managed and operated by a local non-profit, to develop the next wave of 
Internet Apps, Tools and Protocols.

Residents and businesses will be able to make high-speed, secure and 
private Internet connections between home and office, or school and 
home, home and home, or two branches of an office, through a web based 
software tool.

Community Ownership and management means smart network growth planning, 
and an economic development toolbox, delivering highly available roaring 
fast network capacity and infrastructure for community members, 
entrepreneurs and businesses. Davis Community Network (DCN), a long time 
local non profit, is ready to play a key role in managing these 
infrastructure assets to benefit? the community

*Secure the Future.*

In addition to a huge economic development driver and tool for 
entrepreneurs, a community network could be open to multiple competitors 
ending the lock big Telecoms have. More competition will generate lower 
prices.

Telecom? companies are charging monopoly prices? because they control 
the delivery of Internet access to your property. Our town can disrupt 
the current Internet access market in Davis with its own community-owned 
delivery system, leased to multiple ISP companies, creating? 
competition. Walk away from the no-win situation and its ever-increasing 
pricing, which regularly sees Internet bundle bills of $150 and UP for a 
typical family.

More important, though, is the fact that community ownership means that 
a new source of monthly recurring revenue will come to the City in the 
form of lease fees paid by providers to use its municipally-owned fiber 
network.

This means that community-owned fiber is an opportunity for all our 
citizens to REDIRECT their monthly telecommunications budget away from 
Telecom? Giants, and directly back into Davis.


*Every kid and senior on the Network.*

A community network can make sure that all homes in Davis, regardless of 
income level or opportunities, have equal access to the single most 
important infrastructure of the 21st century. Through this network we 
can ensure that all the students enrolled in our schools have access to 
the best Internet Access available anywhere. World Class Internet 
Facilities for every home and business parcel will address the digital 
divide and provide education opportunities for students and Telehealth 
options for seniors.

*Build the Smarter City.*

Having a community-owned network means having the necessary asset to 
build a smart city. Ubiquitous Fiber Optic infrastructure is the single 
most important asset to have in place for the development of Smart City 
strategies which are needed NOW to cope with climate change, population, 
and quality of life issues.


*ACTION*

A phone survey will be conducted starting 11/13/18? and continuing for a 
few weeks. Please make sure you are prepared with your broadband bill, 
any comments, and your service speeds. Please provide the time to take 
the phone survey and respond to all of its questions. So that you don't 
hang up right away, the interviewer will lead with "The City of Davis is 
asking citizens to participate in this survey that looks at high speed 
Internet in the City."


This flier was produced by Davis GIG and Davis Community Network, and 
paid for by donations to www.davisgig.org by Citizens of Davis over the 
past 3 years.

Davis Community Network, www.dcn.org, is a 501c3 non profit which was 
started in 1993 to bring Dial Up Internet Access to City of Davis.? It 
has supported a wide variety of community organizations since then with 
free Internet resources, and for the last 2 years has been focused on 
municipal broadband. We encourage anyone interested in joining the 
organization to contact us by email at help at dcn.org

DavisGIG, www.davisgig.org, was started as a citizen group in 2015 to 
advocate for better Internet Access for Davis in the form of a 
city-owned, community-operated Fiber Optic Network that would be leased 
to ISPs on an open access basis. Since then it has seen success with 
improved options for broadband from the Telco Giants, but continues to 
advocate for the community to ensure its digital future by owning and 
operating its own internet infrastructure.
