Issue Date: June 2, 2010
Broadband Initiatives Program (BIP)
Round 2 Infrastructure Application Directory
Important Notes
This directory includes applicant information for all 776 BIP Last Mile and Middle Mile
Infrastructure applications received during Round 2, as well as a listing of organizations
which filed Public Notice Responses (PNRs) to Round 2 BIP Infrastructure Applications.
Please note that RUS did not receive PNRs for every application. If no PNRs are
listed for a given application, none were received.
Applications are sorted alphabetically by the applicant’s state of incorporation, then by
applicant name. An applicant’s proposed project area(s) can be located:
1) Within the applicant’s state of incorporation;
2) Outside the applicant’s state of incorporation; or,
3) In multiple states.
In any case, each application is only listed once within this directory.
For instance, Butler Telephone Company, Inc., found on page 1 of this directory, is
incorporated in the state of Alabama, and therefore listed in this directory in the
Alabama section. However, Butler’s application is proposing to serve portions of both
the states of Alabama and Mississippi, but is only listed under Alabama, Butler’s state
of incorporation.
If you are interested in searching for applications which include proposed project area(s)
within a specific state, you can use the Find or Search functions both located under the
Edit menu in Adobe Acrobat.

The proposed middle mile project will extend terrestrial wireless broadband connectivity to McCarthy, AK. McCarthy is a remote rural community where CVW's parent, Copper Valley Tel. Coop., is the serving LEC. The project will allow CVTC to transition from a low bandwidth capacity satellite link to the proposed high capacity terrestrial microwave middle mile service in an area that has no terrestrial connections to outside networks. Currently, all communications into & out of McCarthy utilize earth orbiting satellites. This middle mile project will allow broadband services to be brought to households, businesses and key community organizations that are currently unserved, creating the potential for increased business growth, public services, public safety, & quality of life for the residents of McCarthy. The applicant also proposes to leverage an ARRA award as detailed in the application.

Tohono O’odham will provide fiber to the home (FTTH) and broadband wireless "hot­spot" capabilities further enhancing the existing broadband base and creating job opportunities within the Tribal area. This Last­Mile project is synergistic with the recently awarded Middle­Mile project (easygrants ID 1767). Both the Middle­Mile project and this Last­Mile project are integral parts of the total broadband solution for the TOUA area. The Middle­Mile grant allows TOUA to build a strong high­speed transport network that will interconnect all Last­Mile nodes proposed in this Last­
Mile application. This project will economically extend broadband services to nearly all the last mile sections within the entire Tohono O’odham reservation. TOUA will also offer broadband wireless services to 50+ predominately rural areas with only dial up services today.

Our company proposes to install a turn­key wireless internet system to six small and rural communities across four counties in Kansas. This service would allow the residents, students, city, county, and state employees within the areas access to the high speed internet that they have long been denied due to their remoteness. Our system will not only provide high speed internet, it will be a “green project†in that the remote broadband Internet gateway is solar powered, with backup commercial power in the event of prolonged periods without solar support. In addition to the projects energy savings, it is 100% capable of integration with future terrestrial internet services, and provide a valuable back up internet, as well as emergency communications when needed.

Windstream provides digital phone, high­speed Internet and high­definition video and entertainment services to residential and business customers. In many of the rural areas Windstream serves, the cost of broadband deployment is prohibitive. The proposed project will allow Windstream to extend its broadband network to provide broadband to many currently unserved homes and businesses. Windstream will extend broadband service using the same architecture, equipment vendors, technologies, processes, and procedures that it uses to provide broadband service to over 1 million current customers. Windstream proposes to use industry standard ADSL2+ (Asynchronous Digital Subscriber Line) protocols that will allow customers to enjoy broadband at speeds of up to 12 Mpbs. The project will bring broadband to 4,900 homes and 339 businesses that otherwise may never enjoy the benefits of broadband.

Windstream provides digital phone, high­speed Internet and high­definition video and entertainment services to residential and business customers. In many of the rural areas Windstream serves, the cost of broadband deployment is prohibitive. The proposed project will allow Windstream to extend its broadband network to provide broadband to many currently unserved homes and businesses. Windstream will extend broadband service using the same architecture, equipment vendors, technologies, processes, and procedures that it uses to provide broadband service to over 1 million current customers. Windstream proposes to use industry standard ADSL2+ (Asynchronous Digital Subscriber Line) protocols that will allow customers to enjoy broadband at speeds of up to 12 Mpbs. The project will bring broadband to 4,900 homes and 190 businesses that otherwise may never enjoy the benefits of broadband.

Windstream proposes to use industry standard ADSL2+ (Asynchronous Digital Subscriber Line) protocols that will allow customers to enjoy broadband at speeds of up to 12 Mpbs. The project will bring broadband to 4,300 homes and 200 businesses that otherwise may never enjoy the benefits of broadband.

This is a wireless broadband project covering approximately 1280 square miles of rural area from US Highway 101 to the Pacific Ocean in primaily Mendocino County and a small area of Northern Sonoma County. The service performance will be comparable to wired DSL service offered by AT&T in Santa Rosa, CA area. A good portion of this proposed service area not only has no broadband internet service and no cell­phone service. The "project" area is quite remote in many cases and in some areas families are using Solar or Coal powered generators as their primary electrical source.

Riverside and San Bernandino Counties within the Inland Empire Communities in California suffer the worst home foreclosure and unemployment among the nation and with 10M+ Broadband service, we hope to help the low­income residents (majority of the 4M population in a 7,262 square mile area) to jump­start from their financial crisis. The area is currently underserved (73%) with some totally unserved (57%) regarding Broadband access of higher than 5 Mbps. We will build out Gigabit Broadband infrastructure in Riverside and San Bernandino County areas by using DSL, Broadband Wireless and Fiber networks combined at an Internet capacity starting from 10Mbps to reach Gbps range in the next 5 years; a capacity conforming to the latest FCC policy. We choose to build a long­term hybrid evolving network, avoiding over­utilization of a limited 4M channel bandwidth DSL technology alone.

This project is a collaborative effort among local and regional governments, tribes, anchor institutions and local service providers to offer high speed broadband to communities with minimal or no broadband access. Individuals and institutions will be wirelessly interconnected, enabling them to securely exchange information at speeds over 100 Mbps and to access the Internet at speeds over 10 Mbps. The area is comprised of approximately 12,000 households and 2,000 businesses and 25 anchor institutions scattered among redwood covered hills. Between 2000 and 2004 this area was the fastest growing in Oregon. Over the past 5 years the numbers have begun to decline due to economic conditions and a lack of educational and medical resources. This new wireless connectivity will help attract new residents, businesses and tourism to this majestic, rugged coastal area.

This 300 mile project, will help rural, low­income and diverse communites by providing access to broadband service by consumers residing in unserved areas of California, as well as bring improved broadband service to those in underserved areas. This is a middle mile and last mile upgrade to an existing backhaul that has already been running in the areas it supports. Upgraded broadband service will enable public safety agencies, hospitals, schools, businesses, tribal lands, libraries, and households to access the needed bandwidth to effectively conduct their important business transactions. The upgraded backhaul will also bring down the current high prices that are being charged by bandwidth providers to this area. This will result in more affordable, high­speed internet to the consumers, as well as enable continuous speed upgrades as the industry demands.

This project will extend WeCare’s broadband wireless network into rural, underserved regions of San Joaquin, Alameda, and Contra Costa counties. The costs of building landline infrastructure to serve these low density housing and geographically isolated regions have prohibited anyone from doing so. The network design calls for leveraging WeCare’s current systems and infrastructure, along with existing third party communications facilities, to quickly and cost­
effectively bring broadband services to these underserved areas. The expanded network will provide high speed access to 25 critical community facilities, 7210 households, 26K residents, and 537 businesses over 824 square miles. Introducing high speed access to these underserved rural areas will improve the delivery of educational services and access to healthcare, create new jobs, and help drive economic development.

Qwest Corporation’s project proposes deployment of High Speed Access within its current 14­
state ILEC footprint. Over 500,000 living units (LUs) in AZ, CO, ID, IA, MN, MT, NE, ND, NM, OR, SD, UT, WA and WY will be served with speeds ranging up to 40 Mbps downstream. About 90% of the LUs proposed for new or upgraded broadband service are in rural areas. The system design uses a combination of technologies including Ethernet, fiber and radio backhaul to reach covered LUs and varies based on the specific location and geography. The project will provide last mile infrastructure to support increasing capacity requirements and integrate new broadband dependent applications and technologies. And, if funded, the project’s $467 M investment will create more than 23,000 jobs for local economies in the 14 states (calculated from the Atkinson formula offered in a 2009 broadband study).

The Main Street Broadband (MSB) South Georgia Broadband project is a 4G wireless last mile project covering over 240,000 residents and 85,000 households spread over 7,200 square miles in 17 rural South Georgia counties. MSB was founded, and the network designed, to provide fast, affordable connectivity to the rural un and underserved residents and businesses of Southern Georgia and Northern Florida. MSB is currently serving 18 rural communities in South Georgia and believes that the MSB South Georgia Broadband is a unique opportunity to combine federal funding with state and local government support, and private equity, to effect fundamental change in a very rural region of persistent poverty. The MSB South Georgia Broadband project is shovel ready and sustainable.

SGRITA proposes to deploy a Last Mile licensed 700 MHz and 2.5 GHz 4G mobile & fixed wireless broadband network to extend service across 1,947 square miles of five rural southwest Georgia counties. This area is remote with many portions more than 50 miles from any urban areas. SGRITA’s PFSA has 58% of households unserved with 97% of the PFSA geographic area with no access to broadband service. This last mile network will pass 21,033 homes, 903 businesses, 171 Critical Community Facilities and 75 Public Safety mobile applications plus 1,369 farms and 4,900 irrigation systems. SGRITA’s PFSA is defined by the five counties who funded the startup of its operations in 2005. For the last several years, SGRITA has been the largest provider of bandwidth in the region.

This Project will bring high speed broadband to rural Hawaiian Homeland communities served by SIC throughout the state of Hawaii. This project will complete SIC’s fiber optic underground transport network including a Network Operations Center with full monitoring capabilities, and Last Mile FTTP distribution facilities. Consequently, rural Hawaii will become a full participant in the global community and share in the limitless possibilities unleashed by broadband. An added benefit will accrue to all Hawaiians, since this state­of­the–art transport network will allow other telecommunication carriers, via network interconnection points, the opportunity to provide access to high speed broadband to their own residence and businesses customer bases.

The Idaho Rural Communities Broadband Initiative is a public/private collaboration bringing fiber optic infrastructure to rural Idaho schools, libraries and medical facilities. The project leverages resources of the Idaho Educational Network (IEN) to build “last mile†telecommunications facilities. Funding for the 24 anchor sites identified in this project establishes key infrastructure within these rural communities, provides access to such broadband applications as distance learning, telemedicine, telecommuting and telegovernment, and fuels economic development by encouraging private sector broadband investment throughout each of these rural communities. The incumbent local exchange carriers (ILEC’s) serving these rural communities will utilize this infrastructure to make broadband available for approximately 5887 unserved households in these 15 rural Idaho communities.

The Southern Idaho communities of Sterling, Springfield, and Pingree are located in an area that is very rural and agricultural. These small communities are roughly 50 road miles northwest of Pocatello, Idaho on State Highway 39. The economic development experienced in larger (but still relatively small) communities such as Pocatello has not extended to the areas in part because the American Falls reservoir separates the proposed funded service area geographically from the larger communities. Deployment of broadband services in service area is the main intent on the proposed project. We are looking at starting with a minimum 3 Mbps residential package with higher throughput packages offered to the businesses. The proposed last mile service area includes 451 households and 25 businesses are located within the proposed last mile service areas.

Conxxus Last Mile is a collaboratively rooted project that will bring the first ever ubiquitous, high spped service to the 5595 sq. mile rural territory in East Central Illinois. Conxxus will draw local anchor institutions and their populations into the 21st Century with high­speed internet capable of delivering 100 Meg of speed to key anchor institutions, businesses, villages and farms. Conxxus will help bring high caliber jobs and reverse an economic climate in rural areas in Illinois that have been losing companies and educational opportunities due to the information divide, steadily in the last decade. Working in conjunction with the State of Illinois, the participating communities and their boards is not new to Conxxus.

Kaizen Net of St. Francisville, IL (pop. 759 in the 2000 census) proposes the South Eastern Illinois/
Wabash Valley Expansion (or SEIWVE, pronounced “save†) to serve a 100 percent rural area that has a population density of only 7 households per square mile. The project will provide broadband availability at speeds up to 3 Mbps in aggregate. This is precisely the kind of company and service area that the RUS BIP program is designed to serve. The company already offers discounts to local police and fire departments that request it, and also provides discounted service to a local library. Kaizen Net welcomes the suggestion of the RUS BIP program that such discounts be offered to all critical community institutions and SDBs in the service area.

Shawnee’s Southern IL Sustainable Broadband Transformation proposal provides an opportunity for transforming citizens in underserved, low­income areas into highly productive members of the community by first empowering these communities with broadband technology. Sadly, regarding per­household income and unemployment in Illinois, these communities rank among the lowest and highest, respectively. Shawnee believes its proposal to develop a broadband network will create new jobs and economic growth, and stimulate innovation and investment. Shawnee’s FTTH network is capable of 1 Gbps transmission speed and will serve 1,209 households, 438 businesses, and 35 anchor institutions, public schools, libraries, law enforcement, and medical care facilities. Shawnee requests 85% loan and 15% grant for this revitalization, costing just over $8 million, including $1 million of new, outside investment.

The ulimate goal of this project is three fold.Frist, bringing fiber to Monticello and second to Winamac will afford SugarDog the opportunity to serve large business with long­needed true enterprise class internet service. Currently only the local telephone company is offering T­1 style service to large and medium sized bussiness.T­1 service is expensive and leaves most companies under served. The second goal of the Monticello Broadband Project is to blanket the town and surrounding lakes with 802.11 b/g/n wireless service. By blanketing the community with simple low­ cost broadband service SugarDog will effectively open broadband service to all who desire service. The third is to run fiber to Carroll County along Lake Freeman. This will off IP Video Service over IP and 802.11b/g/n Wireless Internet Service.

Since its start as a series of farmers with a shared telephone line in 1885, to its incorporation as Farmers Mutual Telephone Company in 1902, to its current incarnation as Grand Mound Cooperative Telephone Association, GMCTA has always had its roots deep into the heart of Iowa farm country. Located in rural eastern Iowa, Grand Mound Telephone's Broadband Deployment Project proposes to provide fiber­to­the­home technology for its Grand Mound exchange, pushing broadband services out to unserved portions of its service territory and bringing Internet connectivity to rural locations.

Iowa Telecom proposes to construct fiber optic facilities on 40 different routes between central offices and other critical locations throughout Iowa. This project would replace interoffice copper, provide diverse interoffice fiber between numerous Iowa Homeland Security County Emergency Management Centers, provide Ethernet and TDM backhaul and eliminate several facility bottlenecks. Iowa Telecom proposes to offer speeds from DS­1 to OC­48 transmission speeds or 100 mbps to 1 gbps Ethernet transmission speeds over this middle mile network. These capabilities will permit vendors to offer high­speed retail broadband services in unserved/
underserved communities. Areas that Iowa Telecom will serve with this project are primarily small outlying residential communities. We anticipate that this project will pass approximately 12,650 households and a relatively small amount of businesses.

Iowa Wireless Services, LLC ("i wireless") proposes to provide broadband wireless service in 14 rural counties in Southwest Iowa. The project will employ advanced HSPA broadband technology with speeds of up to 14 Mbps, with upgrade potential up to 168 Mbps. The wireless network will give rural residents access to broadband services that most would not otherwise have due to the high cost of deploying wireline services in rural areas. i wireless has specifically targeted this project for areas outside of town and municipal boundaries as broadband wireline services in the rural areas covered by the project generally do not extend far beyond those borders. Approximately 28,854 households and 12,174 businesses will be passed by the project.

Cedar Falls Utilities (CFU) currently operates a hybrid fiber coax (HFC) system serving nearly all homes and businesses within the city limits of Cedar Falls. This system has been operational since 1996 and provides broadband service of up to 100 Mbps. If funded, CFU intends to extend their broadband capabilities into an 89 square mile rural service area immediately north and west of the current HFC system boundaries. This new broadband system will employ a combination of state of the art broadband wireless (WiMax) and fiber to the premises (FTTP) technologies. In doing so, CFU would increase the availability, affordability and adoption of broadband services and speed in rural Black Hawk, Butler and Grundy counties. It is estimated that the proposed funded service area is at least 90% unserved with broadband services.

Just as two­way communication has always been utmost importance in the past, it is even more critical to the present and future­. This Loan/Grant application is submitted to improve communication access to the majority of the population in Owen County. It covers approximately 111 square miles, incorporating 3100 housing units and 140 businesses. Our application is designed to place fiber (HFC) to nodes (serving sections) throughout the cabled area. With fiber, the existing coaxial plant can deliver with improved performance and reliability the communications for voice, data and video. In areas where the coaxial plant cannot support the services, fiber (RFoG) will be used to connect directly to the home. Signal technology will be by RF in analog and digital format. Voice will ride on IP (Internet Protocol) transported to the headend by digital RF which delivers both video and data.

Wave Wireless of Parsons, Ks (pop. 11,514 in the 2000 census) proposes the Wave Wireless Southeast Kansas Broadband Expansion project, covering 849 square miles of rural Kansas land, the vast majority of which has no access to high speed services. This 100% rural area has an overall household density of 3.6 per square mile. Overall, the network will pass at least 72 critical community institutions. Wave Wireless has always worked with the various communities of Labette County, KS. It offers service to town governments and it offers service to schools. Most importantly, it offers service to people. Today, broadband is no longer a luxury; for most, it is a necessity. Currently, the network uses industry­standard unlicensed spectrum radios. Wave Wireless, LLC plans to deliver significant upgrades upon the receipt of stimulus grant money.

The Louisiana Delta Wireless Broadband Initiative is an important proposal for providing 3 mbps high speed wireless internet to Louisiana’s most unserved region. Its southern tip borders the northern reach of Broadband IP’s service region. It runs contiguously north to parishes bordering the Monroe MSA through 14 parishes in the Delta Regional Authority. These are among the poorest counties in the state and country, according to historical U.S. Census data. Broadband IP is proposing this project because it is the best positioned wireless internet service provider to serve these residents and businesses. The backbone of this last mile project will be built in accordance with permits issued by the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development to place our transmission equipment on their microwave tower network that runs south to north directly through these 14 delta parishes.

The SPX Rural Wireless Solution project is the deployment of 5 communication sites for last mile wireless broadband access in rural Maine. The illustrative coverage areas would make service available to nearly 88,000 persons. The coverage areas have a combined average population density of 9 persons/square mile. With a project cost of approximately $200 per premise covered, the system overcomes an economic roadblock to broadband access in rural areas where the costs of running wire (cable or fiber) or installing multiple wireless transceiver sites are currently prohibitive. Broadband service will be provided by existing ISPs, thereby expanding their existing coverage areas. These initial sites can then be used as “models†for implementing the technology across Maine and nationwide.

Vanu Coverage Co. proposes to deploy a multi­standard wireless network that provides open access to existing retail mobile wireless operators. This unique approach will bring voice and broadband data, as well as service provider choice, to unserved and underserved areas in Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine where broadband deployments previously have been cost­
prohibitive. This application describes the portion of the network in Maine with which we propose to offer service to almost 139,000 households and over 17,000 businesses.

This project will build a fiber to the premises, last mile, active (AON) network delivering ultra broadband, synchronous data, carrier class telephony, digital multimedia, and wireless applications across Martha’s Vineyard and Cuttyhunk, an unserved and under served rural area. The network includes Serving Fiber Centers connected via a fiber transport ring anchored by an island CO, accessing the mainland via a purpose­built submarine fiber cable, connecting two network operating centers (NOC) by an arrangement with the Open Cape Initiative, a Round 1 NTIA middle mile grant recipient. Backup digital microwave links to the mainland will connect directly to the company NOC where headend, data and satellite equipment reside. Open connectivity from 15Mbps to 10Gbps will be offered across all served areas to all businesses and households and discounted to community and governmental entities.

AzulStar, together with private investors, partner New Mexico ISPs, local community and public institutions are seeking ARRA stimulus grants/loans for the creation of a 4G wireless broadband network for the rural and underserved areas within 5 counties in New Mexico. AzulStar will deploy mobile 2.5GHz WiMAX, which is a non­proprietary, 4th generation (4G) wireless broadband technology that outpaces all other broadband technologies for both price and performance. The innovative network will use some 60MHz of licensed spectrum at 2.5GHz to deliver fixed and mobile connections of 10Mbps and beyond. The highly advanced system will have a lasting impact on New Mexico by creating a platform for innovation and sustainable economic growth. Given the highly rural and sparse nature of the area being targeted, federal financial assistance is essential in order to make this vision a reality.

Our project is a last mile project and will make use of 4G WiMax technology to provide broadband internet service to proposed areas of St Clair County Michigan. The project will make use of existing tower structures in the County for deployment of the service. As part of our service offering we will offer discounted service to Anchor Institutions and Small Disadvantaged Business. Included in the coverage is a county park. We will work with the County to make WIFI service available to residents while visiting the park. The equipment provider has been approved by RUS for rural deployment and is capable of speeds in excess of the NOFA requirement. Currently there are no options for broadband service in our proposed service area. One of our letters of support states that one township has contacted a cable company and was unsuccessful in bringing broadband service to their township.

The Eastern Upper Peninsula Fiber Project is a coalition of local government working with private businesses to bring fiber to the rural EUP of Michigan. This is a combined cooperative effort between government agencies and private business to develop the comprehensive plan for the fiber transport network. This network will be an open network that will allow multiple providers to get their services out to everyone in the rural EUP of Michigan. Chippewa County is the lead applicant for the grant to build a cost effective Last Mile fiber to the Home network. Luce County and Mackinac County have joined Chippewa in their Grant application to cover the entire area in the fiber network. These three counties share borders and many public service, law enforcement and health agencies are linked between the counties. This network will cover 2,363 miles and reach 14,950 homes in the three counties.

This project provides high­speed broadband to rural households and businesses over fixed Wireless WiMax and fiber optic cable that have no other options. The fiber optic backhaul installed between towers is routed past the majority of anchor institutions and more densely populated areas. This makes available very high­capacity to health care, libraries, schools, colleges, government, public housing, community organizations and cell towers. This infrastructure will handle today’s needs and will become the foundation for future needs.

AzulStar, together with Clearwire, private investors and local community and public institutions are proposing the creation of a 4G wireless broadband network encompassing the rural and underserved areas within 17 counties in Southern Michigan. The network will utilize mobile WiMAX at 2.5GHz, which is a non­proprietary, 4G wireless broadband technology that outpaces all other broadband technologies in terms of both price and performance. The innovative network will use some 60MHz of licensed spectrum at 2.5GHz to deliver fixed and mobile connections of 10Mbps and beyond. The highly advanced system will have a lasting impact on the target areas by creating a platform for innovation and sustainable economic growth. Given the highly rural and sparse nature of the area being targeted, federal financial assistance is essential in order to make this vision a reality.

Fiber to the Home project leveraging the NESC Northeast Middle Mile Project funded in Round 1. This project will provide fiber based broadband to 6,235 households in one of the sparsest and northern most counties in MN. The project employs a new public sector management model that will engage and have strong local incumbent and cable carrier support. The model is unique in that nothing like it has been proposed before and stands to be the future model for deploying networks in sparsely populated, large rural areas. The model provides for both a "unbundled fiber to the home" carrier service and a bundled "lit" service to support low income and those that cannot afford along with connecting critical services to the regional network. It also has strong participation with the funded NESC Middle Mile Fiber Project and other ARRA funded projects in the region.

Careful analysis of the potential current unserved market shows an opportunity to fill the void of Broadband services which is either not available or substandard. The Company will be able to leverage their affiliation from their extensive industry contacts, which they have gained through industry affiliations, and other third­
party contacts which will all help support the rural communities. The Minnesota Tri­County Broadband Project would be an extension to the current Broadband project on which we are working. Sytek Communications would manage a wireless broadband system that would serve more than 1,600 square miles of 4G (WiMax) coverage for the counties of Todd, Morrison & Mille Lacs in central Minnesota.

This project will provide wireless broadband services to areas of Eastern Montana where NO broadband ­ wireline or wireless ­ is currently available. This is an extremely rural and remote area covering over 8,800 SQUARE MILES with a density of less than 0.07 households per square mile. In an effort to propose a cost­effective terrestrial broadband solution to serve this area, we plan to equip existing digital cellular sites with 3G broadband services (capable of future upgrade to 4G) to offer both mobile and fixed wireless broadband services. The mobility of the service will provide additional benefits to vast numbers of consumers and businesses traveling through the area, as well as to emergency service providers. The project will also offer infrastructure and services to Interoperability Montana, the State’s public safety radio interoperability consortium.

NCCN is seeking BIP funding to integrate the service capacity and rural relationships of two institutions of higher education with partners from private industry that know how to develop, construct, maintain and operate a broadband network. This project spans over 107,000 rural square miles, including six Indian reservations. This two­tiered project will target community support, distance education and telemedicine issues in over 100 larger rural communities, with plans to eventually provide high­speed broadband access to up to 840 communities region­wide. Based upon this larger vision, the Broadband Mapping Tool has passed 156,157 businesses and households in the region, and we have estimated a total of 1110 critical community facilities and public safety entities in Eastern Montana. The stretch goal of this network is to reach at least 50% of potential subscribers.

Nevada is a uniquely rural state that includes some of the very last “frontier†communities in the USA. Most of the population living outside of Washoe and Clark Counties have, to date, been living without access to true broadband internet service. To resolve this iniquity, ANTC is proposing a state of the art microwave radio backbone; a Middle­Mile system to provide significant bandwidth to WISPs, anchor institutions and enterprise users in 15 PFSA’s where it does not exist or is grossly cost prohibitive to access today. Utilizing cutting edge LTE/WiMax ready technology, the system will provide highly reliable and scalable broadband transport to enhance existing but limited fiber­optic cable or provide transport where fiber­optic cable is unavailable. 186 CCF’s and PSF’s along with more than 16,500 premises will have access to the system via local ISP’s using ANTC’s proposed network.

The purpose of our project is to promote the adoption of high speed broadband to the underserved and vulnerable populations, including anchor institutions of Espanola, Dixon, and Penasco, New Mexico ( proposed service areas), and to create jobs. The proposed funded service areas are underserved. As detailed elsewhere in our application, we have conducted independent surveys which confirm our statement. In addition, we have received letters from local officials which are consistent with our findings. These results were expected given the vulnerable nature of our populations.

Agavue,LLC, a New Mexico based ISP ("Agavue") proposes a last­mile, high speed WiMax broadband wireless project with connection speed of up to 20Mbps to serve approximately 12,425 households, 2,698 businesses and 85 community anchor institutions and three Native American pueblos in Taos, Colfax, Rio Arriba and Sandoval counties in rural North New Mexico. All proposed funded service areas are rural and underserved according to NOFA definitions. WiMax infrastructure is the most cost­effective, high­speed broadband solution for unserved and underserved businesses and residents in the proposed funded service areas. RUS has previously approved and begun funding of Agavue's WiMax project in Mazano & Cerrillos, New Mexico. Benefits for the targeted areas are substantial, including job creation, medicine, economic development and distance learning.

Cyber Mesa Computer Systems Incorporated proposes to upgrade its current dial­up Internet service to broadband dsl­based service to Pecos and Glorieta, New Mexico. These adjacent completely rural communites have no broadband services available today. The proposed service area includes 1381 housing units and 51 businesses and uses a combination of leased ILEC copper loops and Cyber Mesa constructed fiber yielding a cost­effective solution of less than $1800 per housing unit passed. Substantially a last­mile project, fiber backhaul to Cyber Mesa hub is included since IP bandwidth necessary to support the local network is not available locally.

This project will fill the need for present and future bandwidth requirements by placing fiber to rural subscribers. This project will also replace old and deteriorating copper telephone plant that is nearing or has reached the end of its useful life. This project will be extending full fiber capabilities to rural establishments and give them the increased bandwidth comparable with any urban establishment. This last mile project, along with the middle mile component will allow La Jicarita to provide affordable, higher speed last mile services to a larger majority of their existing subscriber base that they would otherwise not be able to accomplish. In addition, La Jicarita would have future opportunities not yet recognized by being connected to a statewide backbone ring that will eventually broaden La Jicarita’s ability to receive and extend services throughout the state of New Mexico.

“Penasco Valley Telephone Cooperative, Inc. (in a consortium with co­applicant PVT Networks, Inc.) is proposing a fixed and mobile last mile solution (with a middle mile component) to address underserved and unserved rural areas of southern and central New Mexico.†. PVT NetWorks, a subsidiary, owns 700 MHz spectrum that covers the proposed area. The proposal includes middle mile fiber and microwave equipment to connect the sites and to reach an alternate internet POP for redundancy and lower cost access, reducing access costs by more than 50%. The proposed fiber and fixed wireless solution will enable the delivery of broadband services to virtually all critical community facilities across the service region’s 10­county area. A benefit of this project will be economic growth in this rural area, where the latest Census data shows that 21.4% of its residents live below the poverty line.

New Horizons Wireless will bring fixed wireless broadband services to more than 9,000 residents, businesses and critical community institutions in rural St. Lawrence County, New York that currently must rely on dial­up access to the Internet. Without access to the cost­effective broadband services to be provided by this project, these citizens and communities will be unable to compete for the kinds of jobs and educational opportunities that are available in the 21st century. The very low population density of the roughly 1,000 square miles covered by this project means that there is simply no cost­effective broadband solution except wireless. Our company is local and is committed to helping the county improve the lives of its citizens ­­ our neighbors. This project will deliver exactly the kind of infrastructure and benefits envisioned by the 2009 ARRA.

Plexicomm has successfully deployed wireless broadband services in the region since 2003 and looks forward to the opportunity to reach the underserved in Broome and Tioga Counties. Rural NY is plagued with communities having broadband only available to those in town leaving a good majority of the residents without for a lack of population density or difficult wire line deployments. Plexicomm will overcome these obstacles with proven technology and skills learned over the past 7 years while deploying wireless broadband in the region. This project places Plexicomm in the position to further its reach into rural NY with its Open Network design.

This project provides wireless high speed internet access with a WiMAX offering in the 3650 MHz spectrum (IEEE 802.16d standard) to rural unserved and underserved areas of St Lawrence County, New York and the 1000 Islands Region of Jefferson County. It leverages an existing wireless network, provides competitive rates, creates jobs, in a cost effective way, and establishes an open access network which will allow competitors to deliver more services, resulting in better technology, enhanced service, and a decrease in costs for the end­user. Finally it provides e­
commerce training for small businesses and entrepreneurs to promote new economic activity for the region. This project would not be possible but for the BIP combination grant and loans.

Surry Telephone Membership Corporation is the ILEC for rural areas of Surry, Stokes and Davidson Counties in the Piedmont Region of North Carolina. Budgetary constraints and the physical limitations of our existing copper network have not allowed STMC to provide more that 3 Mbps to our most rural areas. With the help of the BIP program, STMC plans to offer broadband speeds of 6 Mbps and greater to those underservered customers. This will be achieved by installing a “future bandwidth proof†Active FTTH network from our existing wirecenters directly to the customer premise. STMC will install access electronic equipment, in these wirecenters and at the customer premise, that already has proven and reliable service. The Active FTTH will utilize ribbon fiber cables as the backbone of the network. The project will pass 2,731 structures, of those 2,377 are underserved.

Wilkes Telephone Membership Corporation, Inc. (WTMC), a non­profit cooperative telecommunications company headquartered in Wilkesboro, North Carolina, dba Wilkes Telecommunications Inc., seeks funding to provide last mile fiber optic high speed broadband, video, and voice services to underserved rural areas in Wilkes County, North Carolina. The project has strong community support and will provide sustainable services to promote rural economic development in the area. WTMC is currently building fiber to the home for its customers in the more dense portions of its four exchanges in Wilkes County with the assistance of an RUS loan but will use these funds to cover the less dense areas of its exchanges that are normally uneconomical to serve. WTMC plans to work with the NC statewide network to improve the availability of low cost Internet access to the more rural portions of the state.

The CEI Broadband Infrastructure Project consistes of two PFSAs in rural Dickinson and Belfield, western North Dakota. The Project is a FTTH expansion to CEI’s existing fixed wireless data system in those areas. CEI will build fiber to the least populated areas of those communities where it has been cost prohibitive to deploy FTTH and sometimes even DSL. In the PFSAs, residences currently only have access to dial­up Internet from Qwest or wireless Internet from CEI at slower speeds of 4 Mbps. Under the Project, CEI will build out its facilities to pass all 1421 households in the PFSAs, and will be able to provide voice and video, as well as data services at speeds up to 100 Mbps. The CEI Broadband Infrastructure Project will require approximately 21 new jobs to build and operate the system.

The network proposed by PTC is a hybrid design including a fiber to the home (FTTH) and fiber to the node (FTTN) solution for their existing service area. This proposed network will enable PTC to provide rural subscribers with services typically available in only the most urban areas of our country. In addition to enabling data rates of up to 40 Mbps, the network will enable video delivery via affiliate head­end facilities. Wireless microwave backhaul is proposed in some extremely rugged portions of the network. Subscribers in these locations will receive the same data services provided to the FTTN subscribers. The proposed soft switch will enable PTC to convert subscribers to voice over IP (VoIP), further enhancing network utilization. Additionally, the proposed network will provide much needed backhaul for the wireless network of Easygrants 1257 awarded in round one.

The project plans to greatly expand and enhance our current broadband last mile delivery microwave system to additional homes and businesses in both the unserved and underserved parts of the county. With this expansion we will be able to reach approximately 1771 Housing Units which have no current broadband availability and 3739 Housing Units who only have low speed broadband access. Our technology allows for combined upload/download speeds in excess of 5 Mbit/sec for these households. We will also provide a more inclusive broadband internet delivery system which allows customers to purchase service in smaller increments, to serve the lower income and part time residents in rural Tillamook county Oregon. Finally we intend to provide cameras at strategic locations throughout the county that will allow county emergency services and law enforcement personnel access to the images.

This project provides high speed broadband to the economically disadvantaged Appalachian area of the rural Upstate area of South Carolina. It meets the objectives of The ACT, creates dozens of jobs, and brings broadband to areas where none now exists, nor will any exist for the foreseeable future, without this requested funding. This initiative creates an ubiquitous WiMAX broadband network providing 5+ Mbps service to thousands of rural homes, businesses, and critical community facilities. The majority of this region has no access at all to high speed broadband. CommunityConnect will offer heavily discounted rates to essential community anchors and institutions and free broadband to dozens of community centers.

This project aims to deploy 3G UMTS fixed and mobile wireless broadband coverage at speeds of at least 7.2 Mbps down and 3.6 Mbps up, in 11, primarily rural, eastern Illinois counties with limited broadband penetration. The proposed funded service area covers 26,605 households and 7,827 businesses. Consideration was made to remove areas within these counties that were already covered by current RUS borrowers or Round 1 last mile awardees. The applicant is already an established wireless operator in Illinois, serving its customers since 1991, and will leverage its existing spectrum, assets and experience building and maintaining wireless networks to complete this project. The company will also upgrade its backbone to a fiber­optic network utilizing existing providers in the area. This upgrade will assure reliability for customers and allow the company to accommodate increasing data needs.

The proposed project is to provide customer requested affordable increased broadband services to extreme rural areas of Texas. The existing communication facilities limit, and in some cases prevent, provision of FCC mandated high speed broadband service. Present backhaul expenses limit us to providing minimum required bandwidths and because of sparse population and long rural loops, our customers will be unable to afford the rising cost of broadband in the future. Increased speeds are needed to meet current and future customer demands as well as regulatory standards. Building fiber facilities to adjacent, larger communities would reduce backhaul costs by one half and provide a platform to increase our bandwidth 450%. The new facilities will enable rural customers the advantage of connecting for online education, telecommuting and competing for jobs otherwise unavailable.

The Awesome Net Rural Expansion Project is a chance to change the opportunities for the people of 9 counties in South Texas. The proposed funded service area is almost all rural area with the exception of Victoria, Texas. Victoria is in the middle of an Internet desert. Victoria has no tier 1 carriers and the surrounding area has few Internet options. This proposal would bring affordable internet service from the closest tier 1 Internet carriers in Corpus Christi, Texas through wireless towers that double as access points for last mile Internet service. This project is the most cost effective way to get high­speed Internet service to the area. Awesome Net, Inc knows that the economic advantages of affordable high speed Internet will rival the rural electrification of this area in the 1930’s. Awesome Net, Inc. is proud to be part of the effort to improve our communities.

The project will provide middle mile fiber and transmission facilities that will enhance broadband services in Blossom, TX making it available to unserved/underserved customers in remote, rural areas in NE Texas. BTC has obtained an RUS loan to provide FTTH in their exchange. The proposed 26.5 mile route of middle mile fiber facilities will enable the FTTH facilities to deliver significantly greater bandwidth at a reasonable cost. By leveraging the middle mile fiber with wireless, last mile facilities, the project will enable BTC to provide, affordable broadband service to households, businesses and critical community facilities currently lacking high speed broadband service. Broadband service potential will exceed 5Mbps to all Blossom wireline customers upon completion. Wireless customers will be offered packages up to 3 Mbps along the middle mile route that is currently unserved.

In addition, this project will deliver voice services, a product that we already offer. We believe that the combination of offerings will increase broadband adoption rates in the proposed funded service area. We are often asked, "How can your company provide high­speed Internet when larger companies can't?" The answer is: They can, but it would cost them more money to do it than they are willing to spend to put high­speed Internet in your neighborhood or community. We are doing it for you RIGHT NOW!

The agricultural area of Texas south of San Antonio has long lagged behind the rest of the state in access to technology. This is a significant barrier to the development in the region. The recent expansion in natural gas exploration in the region has created opportunity for change. The community can only reach the outside world at high speed if they are fortunate enough to live in close proximity to a telephone company end office, and even then access is not economical. This project overlays existing telecommunications infrastructure with WiMax wireless access. Offering broadband equivalent to or better than that available in more urban areas at speeds over 3Mbps. In addition to providing broadband capabilities to homes & industry this project will provide heavily subsidized access to community anchors such as hospitals, schools, government agencies & emergency responders.

Mid­Plains propose to provide fiber to the home to customers located in six rural areas in the Texas Panhandle. This project will serve rural subscribers located in 227 square miles within the counties of Armstrong, Briscoe, Randall, and Swisher in the central Texas Panhandle area. Many of the premises in these areas are at such a distance from the central office that Internet access speeds (using copper plant) are limited to sub­broadband speeds and deemed unacceptable to our customer base. Fiber to the premise (FTTP) service offerings will give the highest speed capabilities for current and future applications, support telephone service, and allow an introduction of video offerings in the future. This project will extend full fiber capabilities to the most rural of establishments and give them the increased bandwidth comparable with any urban establishment.

Consumer demand for bandwidth has far exceeded industry ability to provide it. Estimates land somewhere in the realm of 7000 per cent. Spectrum shortage and smart phones are stretching service providers to the limit. Providers have wanted to market content with their network to increase Average Revenue Per User (ARPU) but have traditionally seen unlocked phones with dual band capabilities as a threat to revenue. This project theme will contend that an industry education movement needs to be underway where the fiber, cable, copper, and wireless industries are persuaded that the adaptive DNS and multiple internet gateway routing of the “hot cloudâ
€ 3G­WiFi mesh block convergent networks, with its open competition model, for example, would not lower ARPUs in any of those industries, but actually increase them because of the adaptive and carrier agnostic properties.

The ADVANCE Project will provide ultra­high speed fiber­optic broadband to one of the poorest and undereducated regions of the nation with an experienced team that has worked together in this field successfully for nearly 10 years, including four RUS Community Connect grants. Our PFSA is underserved, contains one persistent poverty county, and is located in the Appalachians of Southwest Virginia. The project will pass 25,241 premises. It places emphasis on partnering with three funded Middle Mile projects, and has synergistic operations planned with two other Last Mile applications. This will create a Digital Nexus of connectivity that will break the cycle of persistent poverty. It will bring global connectivity that is needed to support life­long education of the labor force, and drive economic development with techniques that have only become possible in the Digital Age.

The project involves using fiber to connect Nelson County, Wintergreen, and Scottsville, police and 1st responders to Nelson County’s “middle mile†project (Round 1 EasyGrants ID 891). This is accomplished by connecting 3 separate fiber lines to Nelson Counties “middle mile†. One line would run from Wintergreen’s 1st responders & 911 facilities to Nelson County’s “middle mile†at the intersection of River Rd. & Adial Rd. (Routes 6 & 634 west). The 2nd would run from Scottsville’s Police Dept. & 1st responders to Nelson Countyâ
€™s “middle mile†at the intersection of River Road & Old Roberts Mtn. Rd. (US Routes 6 & 634 east). The 3rd would run from Brownings Cove to Lovingston. The synergy created by building on the earlier project will have a multiplier effect on the value of both by providing high speed access to anyone along any of the routes, including the Round 1 “middle mile†.

The TRANSFORM Project will provide ultra­high speed broadband to one of the poorest and undereducated regions of the nation with an experienced team that has worked together in this field successfully for nearly 10 years. Our PFSA is both unserved and underserved, contains two persistent poverty counties, and is located in the Appalachians of Northeast Tennessee. The project will pass 10,920 premises. It places emphasis on partnering with three funded Middle Mile projects, and has synergistic operations planned with two other Last Mile applications. These partnerships will create a Digital Nexus of connectivity that will break the cycle of persistent poverty. This project will do this by bringing global connectivity that is needed to support life­long education of the labor force, and driving economic development with techniques that have only become possible in the Digital Age.

Our project, “Rural Mobile Broadband Initiative – The Virginias†will provide cost effective high­speed mobile broadband to various rural and low­income areas of the existing NTELOS PCS wireless network, where without an ARRA award it had not been economically feasible to launch our highly successful EVDO Rev. A service. This project is shovel ready in that all the sites identified to be upgraded are currently providing voice service. The upgrade to high­speed mobile broadband, as detailed in this application, will significantly minimize any environmental impact, by utilizing existing towers rather than building new ones. Since 2007, NTELOS has successfully upgraded 1065 of its existing cell sites to EVDO Rev. A service. The project described in this application is simply the expansion of the same plan, for which the senior management team has a demonstrated track record of success.

The Colville Confederated Tribes proposes a 275 mile open access last mile fiber optic network to connect the 2100 square mile community's households, businesses and critical community facilities to broadband. The Tribe applied for BTOP Public Computer Center and Sustainable Broadband Adoption grants. Funding for 275 miles of fiber will enable 15 public computer centers to bring digital literacy, and job training, and business training programs to the tribal communities. It will support sustainable broadband strategies to help the community leverage broadband access, with the assistance of a 100 youth Technology Corps to help with teaching and cultural preservation efforts. This project is an open access project that will promote competition among retail providers, lower high capital costs of backbone facilities and spur entry of new entrenpeneurs into the network services market.

Hood Canal Communications is proposing to expand broadband service throughout rural Mason County, Washington. This proposal includes parts of the Squaxin Indian Reservation, the area surrounding Pioneer School, and several other developments. Mason County was built around the timber industry, and has been hit hard by the recent economic downturn. Because 80% of the County residents live in rural areas, unavailability of broadband is still a major obstacle. This proposal would expand Hood Canal Communications' Hybrid Fiber Coax (HFC) network to bring much needed broadband service to 737 households and businesses and several critical community facilities.

With RUS funding, CCPUD would extend its FTTX infrastructure to serve the remaining 6,811 rural premises that are still without access to broadband. Currently this standards­based Passive Optical Network (PON) provides broadband access to over 30,000 premises in Chelan County. Local retail service providers use the infrastructure built by the CCPUD to provide high­speed Internet, television and telephone services to nearly 10,000 customers, including residences, businesses and critical community facilities. By extending the network, remaining rural customers would be able to acquire the services they desire from private sector providers. The communities near Blewett Pass, Cashmere, Leavenworth, Entiat, Malaga, Lake Wenatchee and Chelan are targeted under the ARRA RUS Act.
