The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009: Leveraging Broadband Stimulus for IPTV Services in Lower-Density Markets
See also
Publisher's description
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) represents a unique opportunity for network operators to upgrade their networks and greatly enhance their service delivery capabilities. IP video is a key component for serving communities, and IPTV, in particular, represents essential next-generation services which open up valuable revenue opportunities - and help service providers compete more effectively with cable operators, satellite providers and innovative Internet video providers. Regionally-focused communications providers have historically encountered obstacles when evaluating IPTV, often because the solutions were not designed for their unique requirements and business challenges.

Roaming capabilities are essential to providing users of the NBDS with seamless or near seamless nationwide services. Delivering those capabilities requires functionality in the network to support authentication. It may also require legal and financial arrangements between network operators and between operators and a clearinghouse provider. As with many other issues related to the NBDS, the specific arrangements depend on both technical and governance considerations, including roles played by the PSBL, local builders, and D Block licensees/private commercial partners in building, owning, and operating the network.

With a large land area, dispersed population, and limited funds, Franklin County, VA looked for a way to cost effectively meet the broadband demands of its residents, as well as reduces county operational costs. Franklin County worked with local landowners, partnered with B2X and leveraged grant funding to expand broadband services throughout the 721 square mile area for a total county investment of $83,000 from the general fund and a $50,000 federal grant (less than 24% of the projected cost). Using existing tower sites and working with landowners to gain access to place additional towers on private property in exchange for reduced service fees, Franklin County enabled a network design that provided wireless connectivity from 18 towers and water tanks, including redundant network paths.
