Presentation/Discussion: Jim Wright and Tom Sauter from DANC made a presentation to the committee and discussion regarding OATN rates, structure, and economic development pricing for hard to serve communities. Mr. Wright handed out and briefly reviewed the history and presented the perspective of DANC. Mr. Wright indicated that one of the goals is to create an environment for customers to have choices. A potential solution that DANC considered was to have an individual case billing where you can take a unique service linking various sites.
They are looking into economic development funding.
The IT Committee further discussed various potential solutions for broadband services to hard to serve communities to include the need to be able to divide the service so that it can be fair depending on the usage of the service.
