Purpose: Robust and affordable broadband should be available and accessible to all citizens, both urban and rural, throughout the United States. Principles
To promote broadband deployment, rights-of-way fees should meet the following principles: Fair partnership Fair and equitable for all parties to insure a lasting relationship Future proof Allow for growth and innovation while being sensitivity to community needs Nondiscriminatory Neutral treatment and access of all technologies and communication providers Public Rights-of-Way for the use and benefit of the greater community Deployment and delivery of services for the greater good Principles Sense of Urgency To Remove unfair or excessive rates and fees in order to provide all Americans access to Broadband Simplicity Clear and well-defined solutions that are not unnecessarily complex or time consuming Transparent Clear visibility and understanding of all fees and rates
Definitions of Methods (cost, market, revenue, hybrid, new methods, all-in rates) Exploration of Perspectives Simplified Categorizations Event or One-time fees such as application and permit fees Rental rates reoccurring and pertaining to poles and structures Access rates reoccurring and pertaining to access to the public right of way Key Learnings
Data Collection Data voluntarily submitted by BDAC participants Convenience sample not necessarily representative Data Observation Sufficient data on rates for pole attachments and right- of-way access 1,204 cases for both wired (592) and wireless (612) pole attachments Insufficient data on rates for conduits and ducts for analysis Data Analysis
Wired vs. Wireless Pole Attachment Rates (Annual, $) Mean Median Std. Dev. Wired Pole Attachments (n = 577) 17.58 15.56 12.47 Wireless Pole Attachments (n = 402) 505.56 56.60 939.30 Regulated vs. Unregulated Pole Attachment Rates (Annual, $) Mean Median Std. Dev. Regulated (n = 254) 13.97 9.90 12.07 Wired Attachment Unregulated (n = 228) 21.86 20.01 13.04 Data Analysis Regulated (n = 255) 224.25 50.00 505.51 Wireless Attachment Unregulated (n = 147) 993.55 360.00 1,265.19 Wireless Right of Way (ROW) Rate Statistics (Annual, $) Mean Median Std. Dev. IOU s (n = 19) 404.30 100.00 503.25 Municipalities (n = 36) 592.36 300.00 729.41
Pole attachment rates based on revenue sharing Typically charged 3% - 5% of revenue and/or annual fees of $60 - $6,000 ROW or attachment fee Data Analysis Statewide pole attachment rates set by state legislation Thirteen states have adopted statewide regulation Statutes limit ROW and attachment fees to direct cost or cap the fees at $50 - $250
Complete methods analysis Identify and analyze new methods Fine-tune data Develop guidance for BDAC from the data Moving Forward Establish a set of recommendations for the BDAC to accelerate the deployment of broadband Timing??
