Up to now, I’ve only had 4 Ideas, and I’m not sure any were original?
1. The Demand for Bandwidth Will Not End
2. Fiber is the only answer to bandwidth3. If a Community believes they need
bandwidth, they should build it themselves
4. Open Access won’t work in US model

My 5th Idea….
1. US is 15% built with FTTH2. US should be 100% built with FTTH3. Electric Utilities should build, or at
worst partner, on the remaining 85%

Why Electric Utilities?1. Don’t believe Major ILEC’s nor MSO’s
will significantly ramp FTTH builds – wireless is king
2. Biggest hurdle to FTTH build is access to ROW – electric utilities own 80% of easements in US

2. Biggest hurdle to FTTH build is access to ROW – electric utilities own 80% of easements in US
3. Second biggest hurdle to FTTH is recovering cost in lower density areas – electric utilities can significantly close that financial gap IF they ACTUALLY implement REAL SmartGrid

Utility Capital Investment Per Customer…...

$2,620
$10,500
$14,100 $13,470

What is total investment in Electric system?
Generation = $7,500/Customer
Transmission = $1,500/Customer
Distribution = $3,500/Customer
TOTAL INVESTMENT = $12,500 PER CUSTOMEROr $1,750,000,000,000 !!!

Total Generation Capacity in USA – 900,000 MW
Average Generation Needed in USA – 450,000 MW (50% Load Factor)

Why aren’t Electric Utilities with me on this?
1. They don’t have any regulatory incentive to do real SmartGrid – they get a return for a new coal plant, they don’t get a return for technologies that avoid a new coal plant - We must change politics of regulation
2. They don’t believe you need big data requirements to do SmartGrid – We must show them they are shortsighted – Ask Chattanooga
3. They don’t want to be in the retail telecom business and they don’t want to partner with anybody – We must convince them that cyber security and common infrastructure aren’t mutually exclusive
