Why All Fiber
Gigabit Networks
Matter To Your
Community
Dramatically New Drivers of Interaction, Productivity
and Growth Bring Opportunities and Create Demands
for Your Community
“Technological and political forces have
converged, and that has produced a global,
Web-enabled playing field that allows for
multiple forms of collaboration without regard
to geography or distance - or soon, even
language.”
Thomas Friedman
The World is Flat

Seizing New Inputs is Essential for
Economic Growth
1800’s
• Access to new forms of power (steam engines)
• Access to new forms of transportation (canals, then
trains)
1900’s
• Access to new forms of power (electricity)
• Access to new forms of transportation (cars, trucks
and planes)
2000’s
• Access to computing power
• Access to data storage
• Access to digital communications
Fastest growing parts of the economy are those
that best use new inputs
2
Access to Data and Interaction over the
Internet are now Fundamental for Growth
• Global IP traffic has increased eightfold over
the past 5 years, and will increase threefold
over the next 5 years.
• Overall, IP traffic will grow at a compound
annual growth rate (CAGR) of 29 percent from
2011 to 2016.

Why FTTH with Gigabit Performance?
A community, region or country has a strategic
bandwidth advantage when its residents have
the necessary bandwidth to most effectively
collaborate with others in improving economic
growth and social welfare, with a functionality
and at a price superior to those in other
communities, regions or countries
How will GIG-based
services be used?

FTTH Guarantees World-Leading Performance
and a Future Proof Network
Ultra high-speed networks available
only through fiber to the home are
essential to access the applications
needed for continued growth

Egovernment
• Gigabit Networks Enable Cost and Productivity
Improvements
– Governments need to improve the quality of and
streamline service delivery to their citizens
– Implementation of an all-fiber network can provide
the impetus to consolidate data (demand) needs and
offer citizens better on-line experiences
– With the capability of tracking and analyzing across all
government operations, costs can be reduced and
revenues enhanced
10
Health Care
• All-Fiber Networks enable health care innovations:
– Permit analysis, collaboration, diagnosis and treatment among
physicians not physically collocated with each other or the patient
•
•
•
•
Transfer of medical records and imaging
Real time consultation
Specialists treatment regardless of location
Physician training through simulation
• All-Fiber Networks enable aging in place:
– Reduces costs, improves care and quality of life by allowing seniors to
be monitored for medical conditions from home including:
• Medication reminders
• Electronic exercise and physical therapy coaches
• Sensors to monitor activity and behaviors in the home, sending that data to be
processed with predictive algorithms that can alert off-site caretakers to
impending problems.
11
Business/Economic Development
• FTTH ensures that your businesses are open to
world markets
– Online sales and advertising
– Interaction of complex functions from remote
locations such as CAD and remote manufacturing
• FTTH communities provide high end job
opportunities
– Ultrawide bandwidth dependent industries such as
data centers
– Professional opportunities such as architecture and
medicine
12
Business/Economic Development
• FTTH Communities Permit Effective Telework
– Estimated that 50 million U.S. workers could
telecommute – about 2.5 million do now.
– U.S.-based call centers employ thousands of
home-based workers.
– Public and private sector IT decision makers
expect telework to increase by 65% and 33%,
respectively, in the next three years.
13
Education
• All-Fiber Networks Enable Distance Learning
– K12
• Access to subjects not currently taught in your community
– Higher education
• Brings the world’s experts to your area
• Permits learning of complex math and engineering subjects
• All-Fiber Networks Offer Enhanced Educational
Experiences
– Online school communities permits great student/teacher
interaction
– At upper levels, sharing of data increases value of the
research experience
14
Seizing Opportunities for Your Community
The Question Is:
Will you bring high performance all fiber
broadband to your community and set it on a
path for enhanced interaction, productivity
and growth?
