St. Joe Valley Metronet, Inc.
Executive Briefing2004
Our Telecommunications Study Revealed
Current Market:
The local broadband environment was restricted with respect to access and services, and was often non-competitive with respect to pricing.
Competition:
St. Joseph County was not a competitive location option to any existing or new business expansion, when the new or expanded activities of that business rely significantly upon the effective movement of large quantities of information via electronic means.
Typical Businesses for which we could not compete:
Engineering & Design Centers National/Regional Data CentersDisaster Recovery Operations Medical Records CentersBanking & Insurance Processing Telcom Support CentersLife Science Research & Design Centers
Issues Investigated
Availability of national and regional carriers
Local communication infrastructure
Local communication service providers
Various community models

Large Communities• Have many major broadband users• Have many Long Haul Carriers, and many have carrier-
grade (conduit & fiber) facilities in place• Have multiple direct connection options to Long Haul
Carriers
Midsized Communities• Have only a few major broadband users• Have few or no Long Haul Carriers w/ carrier-grade
(conduit & fiber) facilities in place • The only connection opportunity to other carriers is
through the Local Exchange Carrier
Small Communities• No existing major users exist• No Long Haul Carriers present• Local Exchange Carrier may have no broadband
facilities, either.

If left to develop under current market conditions, the local broadband access market will most likely continue to be primarily under a single
source provider’s service, cost and regulatory environment.
Current Market Conditions
Our Objectives
• Expand broadband telecommunication systems and infrastructure so as to:• Increase the number of connection alternatives available to major
users.• Create a cost/pricing environment that is the most affordable
environment in the United States.
• Establish a carrier-neutral broadband infrastructure that might:• Be accessed by all major users. • Be extended into all development areas which anticipate investment
by major users.
• Tactics:• Establish a community-wide plans and systems.• Utilize our existing municipal and private sector infrastructure where
ever possible.
