Memorandum
To: Board of Directors
From: Peter Holzmeister
Date: March 1, 2002
Subject: Broadband business plan update
Staff has received completed design and engineering for the District's proposed HFC
(Hybrid Fiber Coax) infrastructure from our consultants. We are ready to prepare formal
contract documents to put construction of the system out to bid. However, due to recent
changes in pricing for the Fiber To The Home (FTTH) technology, we believe that it
would be prudent to place any action related to the HFC system on hold. It would be
prudent for us to perform a quick but thorough review of new information regarding
FTTH.
At your March 6 Board Meeting I will provide you with a complete status report on our
HFC design, new and exciting information regarding FTTH and the process I have
undertaken to investigate the District's ability to construct an FTTH system and deliver
services in an IP (Internet Protocol)format.
