Document Summary:
This paper explores lessons from PPPs and offers in-depth case studies of three high profile models: Westminster and Ting in Maryland, UC2B and iTV-3/Countrywide in Illinois, and LeverettNet in Massachusetts.
Document Details:
This report aims to bring some balance to the PPP discussion, which has suffered at times from what we might call irrational exuberance given the few partnerships that actually have been executed. We believe PPPs will continue to evolve and more communities will work with partners in some fashion. However, PPPs should be recognized as just one of many possible approaches to ensure communities have universal access to fast, affordable, and reliable Internet connectivity.
