A online workshop on broadband analytics on Tuesday, March 19, at 2 p.m. ET
The Growth of Fiber
As government decision-makers work through the process of BEAD planning (prior to identifying specific buildout areas or specific sub-grantees) private industry has been investing in fiber.
- How quickly is the installed base growing?'
- How does the rate of growth vary by location?
- Which providers are growing and where (competitive landscape)?
Fiber Investment Opportunities
- If I am investing in infrastructure where should I invest, and why?
- What are the most important decision-making “filters”?
- What are the key assumptions?
- How available are the data?
- How easy is it to identify opportunities?
- “Should BEAD dollars influence my decisions?
- How should I view the future?”
The Economics of BEAD Deployment
In the BEAD Implementation Summit on September 21, 2023, Evan Feinman, the BEAD Program Director, said that BEAD is “not a grants program” but is a “universal coverage infrastructure program.”
- Is he right?
- Will BEAD succeed in this broader aspiration?
- We won’t know for sure until we run the numbers.
- The seminar runs the numbers. It shows how far BEAD dollars will go, under varying sets of assumptions.
- The seminar maps the likely results.
- BEAD rules are proscriptive.
- We’ll examine the map that emerges from a financial / geospatial analysis based on BEAD rules.
- We’ll discuss the ambiguities and complex incentives facing decision-makers.
