A Brighter Future for Colo
through Broadband
Our vision for a brighter future for Colorado ...
affordable broadband connectivity - at school , at work, at home
With ifJ.ffordable Broadband . ..
Top-notch learning
opportunities- for a skil led
and competitive workforce
A vibrant business
community- for a strong and
growing economy
Leadi ng-edge community
services - for better health care
and public safety
A desi rable place to live-
with access to the best life has
to offer
Without Affordable Broadband . ..
Our children struggle- unable
to keep pace with the rest of the
world and unprepared to
compete in the workplace
Our economy weakens- as
businesses die or move to areas
with better infrastructure and a
skilled workforce
Our residents suffer- from
outdated and insufficient
healthcare and public servi ces
Our rural communities
become ghost towns- as
residents seek a better life
elsewhere

In a nation as culturally, ethnically, and racially rich and diverse as the
United States, there is an imperative to ensure that the broadband benefits
described here are available to all. To this end, the Benton Foundation
envisions an inclusive digital society in which all members, especially the
underserved, have access to the latest technology and the training necessary
to make the best use of it, at home, in school and in the workplace.
Broadband, and policies that ensure equitable access to it, can help make
this vision a reality.

SHLB Coalition Mission
To ensure that schools (K12 and higher
education), libraries, health care
providers, public safety, public media,
and other anchor institutions have
affordable, highcapacity broadband.
75
76
Anchor Institutions are unique:
Neither residential nor business.
Anchor Institutions provide essential services:
Digital literacy, distance education, remote
telemedicine, job-training, e-government services,
basic research.
Anchor institutions serve diverse and often
vulnerable community members:
Elderly, low-income, disabled, homeless, travelers, youth
and even residential.
SHLB Advocacy 2009-2010
BTOP: SHLB asked for Infrastructure
projects to focus on anchor institutions.
Success.
UCAN: SHLB supported creating a Unified
Community Anchor Network to aggregate
traffic and broadband resources to serve all
anchor institutions. Success
E-Rate: SHLB asked for inclusion of dark
fiber and lit fiber. Success
77
SHLB Advocacy 2011
Rural Universal Service Fund/Connect
America Fund: SHLB has asked the FCC
to fund broadband to anchor institutions
in rural, high-cost regions. Pending
U.S. Ignite: SHLB is engaged in discussions
with Obama Administration on next-
generation broadband platform and
applications. Pending
78
SHLB Advocacy/Our Goal:
National Broadband Plan Goal No. 4:
Every American community should have
affordable access to at least 1 gigabit per
second broadband service to anchor
institutions such as schools, libraries,
hospitals and government buildings.

Framing the Opportunity:
Call to Action
Group 1 Led by Jerry Wareham

Priorities for Public Policy How to Engage/Educate Public Officials
Reinvent right of way (ie federal transportation right of
way is a prime opportunity for reinvention for
broadband)
Clearly define a way to talk about needs for applications
vs. current capacity
Reinvent private easement KISS (dont make it complicated)
No laws against BB but laws/policy encouraging BB Counter special interest arguments
Encourage the development of integrated state, local
and regional BB plans and visions developed with
public, private, nonprofit community and government
involvement
Know your audience
Reframe Universal Services Fund and concept Establish BB standards baseline
Universal service BB plan especially for rural America
Define a specific role for government/How does
government fulfill that role
Dedicate portions of current taxes andfees on
telecommunications for BB and BB services
Engage government officials and the broader
community in an official process to define best practices
in BB. Include legislative and executive levels of
government and a broad range of community leaders.
Encourage (require) all state, local, regional plans (ie:
economic development, health care, infrastructure or
whatever) to address BB development
Define clearly the position of the US v. other nations
regarding BB development
Establish BB capacity as a national priority

Answer the question: What is an appropriate public
policy/regulatory framework for BB as fundamental
essential infrastructure?
Group 2 Led by Sari Feldman
Creating a framework to bring anchor institutions together:
Summary: Create a communication channel that can be used to share content
Education is a big piece of everyones role. Utilize research institutions and existing frameworks
Challenging to bring them together discussion about things that have worked
Public libraries really need to be a piece of this because the residents need to see themselves as part of the process. People can identify
with the library Nancy from DC. People see that if their library is involved they are involved.
Challenge everyone has is finding channels to get our messages out to each of our markets. Lyrasis. Demonstrate that it gives an
institution a channel to get their message to their market.
Provide evidence use cases that there is positive impact. Library could partner with a university to make research that the university is
doing consumable at the library user level. Ability for students to interact with university data and projects. Why couldnt the community
create meta data for the university projects? Makes product of federal funding accessible to the public.
Sari shared collaborative programs that CCPL does with CWRU
Do universities need to create the framework to bring the other institutions together?
Scot from One Community shared that OC views this as change management. Helping to define and articulate a vision. Tom from OC
shared that he is able to communicate the value to schools because of his dual roles.
Sari wonders if the framework is about education? Be more deliberate about education. Cuts across all areas. Delivering education .
Education and awareness of what could be. Cross collaboration through people that are trusted brokers to institutions.
Jim B. it would be valuable to have a way to capture statics and determine value that a common person can understand.
Should there be focus to get people that may not recognize the impact on their lives to become educated about the impact? Do the
parents and teachers perceive the technology as vital? Are the effects too subtle?
Museums are interested in providing content that everyone can point to as a demonstration of value. They found that they could have
positive impact for under 2K by providing video production tools to students.
Libraries are one of the only cradle-to-grave organizations that are not health and public safety.
Purpose, relevance.
Sari shared that creating channels between partners leads to taking it to the public. Creating these channels
We have multiple goals. Jim B. wants to be able to say to opponents of broadband that they are not counting all of the benefits created.
Why the public sector is part of this?
Determine metrics to demonstrate value
Summary: Meaningful stories, baseline, empirical evidence. Quality review.

Outcomes not just ROI in terms of money. Try not to do too broad of an approach in metrics.
Have universities measure their impact at K-12 instead of just their level. They have also spent a lot of money on relations to government.
They could be valuable to communicate to government,
Nancy from DC. Stories and faces have much more impact than stats. On the city level the elderly are very powerful. DC has put together basic
computer courses, which then causes elderly to share their stories.
Microgrants?
Roughly 1 in 3 adults accesses the Internet in the library. If you equate that to $10 per person you could lay fiber to every institution.
Small outcome, impact projects that tell a story.
The metrics need to include some measure of buy in. What is the actual public investment?
We need a standard metric across industries that can be aggregated. ROI
There needs to be benchmarks in each institution? Gates foundation is funding s study.
IMLS is working on developing standards for characteristics of digitally active communities.
Need to be careful to not overestimate the power of empirical evidence. Its a combination of empirical and emotional.
Economic dev. 10 percent of GDP against broadband adoption? Correlate the two.
