Rural Broadband Stimulus: Opportunities and Threats to Rural Telcos

ANPI and Vecima Networks, Inc. invite you to a FREE Webinar

Rural Broadband Stimulus. Opportunities and Threats to Rural Telcos
Tuesday, September 1 • 10:30–11:30 AM CDT

ANPI and Vecima Networks will feature this Webinar to discuss broadband applications and sustainable business opportunities for rural telco’s exploring some of the business and technology options.

Frank Ohrtman recently completed writing $27 million worth of Broadband Stimulus grants for entities who will compete with rural telcos, and will share his insights from that experience in this Webinar.

He notes that wireless broadband enables:

• A cost per rural household reached (a prominent question on the application) of only a few hundred dollars (compare with FTTH at a few thousand dollars per household reached);
• Voice services that qualify for USF funds you might be receiving; and
• “Shovel ready” deployment schedules that cover thousands of square miles in less than a year.

How does the rural telco get in front of these trends? Attending this Webinar is the first step.
