3 Tips for Building Community Broadband – Part 2

In part 2 of this two-part interview, Dr. Tim Nulty suggests that those wishing to replicate  ecFiber.net‘s rural broadband network build-out should follow these three basic steps:

  1. Develop a lean business plan and and a lean network.
  2. Organize an institution that can implement the plan and maintain the network. He describes an interesting public-private partnership to make this happen.
  3. Finance the project, which is the most difficult. Nulty indicates that the capital for building the networks  is coming from both inside and outside the community and beyond in the form of tax-exempt loans made by individuals who want both a return, as well as fiber to their community.

In this interview, he describes an organizational structure that is unique and one that separates politics from operations.
