- There are 1300 Independent Telephone Operating Companies In the U.S.
- They currently serve in excess of 30 million telephone subscribers.
- We are targeting 10% of those subscribers.
- Served communities range in size from 500 homes to 50,000 homes.
- Served communities are scattered over wide geographies.
- Many Independents compete outside their regulated territories against cable and incumbent phone companies.
- There are trade associations that provide direct channels to these companies.
- Most Independents have existing access to significant fiber Internet back haul capacity.
- Existing wireless broadband technologies have not been economical enough to deploy because:
- Communities are often not dense enough.
- Licensed spectrum is either not available or too expensive.
- Communities are too small or too scattered to serve.
Community start-up costs are too high.
- Independents want an infrastructure with enough performance to eventually deliver “triple play” so as to be fully competitive with cable competitors in the future.
- Independents are profitable and have discretionary dollars to spend on deploying new technology if they can deploy and operate it profitably.
- Low cost loans and grants are available for deploying broadband services in Independents' territories.
