“Communities have traditionally looked at broadband deployment as an either/or proposition either depending solely on the private sector for Internet service, or deciding to invest in broadband networks that are publicly owned and operated,” said Charles Cieutat, Partner at Altman Solon. Nonetheless, there is growing support for hybrid public-private deployments and evidence that hybrid solutions may offer a viable approach for some communities lacking sufficient broadband coverage. Most of the communities in this smaller group fully own and operate their own municipal broadband networks. However, the other eight percent have implemented a range of municipally enabled deployments and offer case study examples of alternative network models.

Ninety-two percent of municipalities in the United States that are considered well-served with broadband Internet rely entirely on private network service providers, according to the Broadband Models report. The report aims to help any of the estimated 6,500 1 unserved or underserved communities evaluate their options for broadband connectivity and weigh the opportunities and risks of public, private, and hybrid networks. WASHINGTON, D.C. – J– US Ignite and Altman Solon are pleased to announce the results of a comprehensive study of municipally enabled broadband deployment in a new report: Broadband Models for Unserved and Underserved Communities. Report highlights role of municipal enablement and growing popularity of hybrid deployment models
