Benefits for Residents

There are several reasons why communities should begin to make investments in telecommunications:

Create a competitive marketplace.

Attract private investment that will offer necessary telecom services to residents and businesses.

Reduce data and telecom costs for all in the community.

Business and government save tax dollars by pooling demand and then spending less on telecom services.

Reduce overbuilding and redundant facilities (We don’t have 2 and 3 roads to each home).

Conserve scarce resources (roads, easements, and rights of way).

Create local markets for new services (creating jobs and increasing tax revenue).
