increasing, demand increasing, eg Netflix More Ethernet backbone Demand will skyrocket Broadband will be a key competitive issue for cities All businesses are becoming information businesses, -time frames increasingly shorter -the chemical industry is becoming an information industry San Leandro Commercial Broadband Strategy – City Council Workshop Draft 9 April 2012 Tellus Venture Associates Page 40 Locations for expansion: Estudillo Davis Closer to the water is better Two said Marina/Westside Everywhere Residential Marina and Merced Actually at the marina Risks to city: Not doing it Wireless Damage to city fiber Manufacturers -broadband increasingly critical. Attendees had the following general comments about the impact of broadband on their availability: Broadband is not a substantial cost of doing business Would be willing to pay more for better options Worried about the possibility of data caps in the future Reliability is more important than cost and speed Within the next 20 years, the following needs are possible/expected: Consistent control of speed Speed improvements More mobile options Large-scale system capacity A stronger Ethernet backbone Competition from other cities Increased need for data transfer More cloud computing Reactions to the proposed fiber loop: We should do it How does this relate to the expansion of wireless networks? Risk of damage to City networks If built, what are the priority areas for expansion of the fiber network? Estudillo? San Leandro Commercial Broadband Strategy – City Council Workshop Draft 9 April 2012 Tellus Venture Associates Page 41 Get as close as possible to the Bay Other service providers could use this to improve service Serve the Marina area Push to industrial areas, don’t duplicate residential capabilities Workshop 2: 26 July 2011, 8:00 a.m. Current access: Custom T1 Uverse at home, about $100, fast. On Joaquin, use Comcast. OSI -10 Mbps MPLS, T1s, T3. Quality is the biggest issue. Stressing the network with VOIP, teleconferencing, data. Formerly Comcast, now Uverse DSL advertised at 1.5 Mbps but delivering 300K. Price is high. Westside of town: no DSL available for years. Comcast and Uverse difficult to get, difficult for families, particularly for children with homework, difficult for the schools. Complicated, expensive menu, paying too much. Next Generation Business: Heavy user of technology. Access situation is very hard now. Leads to growth and jobs. Concern -site locations, cell sites near certain places. Underground is OK though. Need capacity to handle residential and business demands simultaneously. Would like next gen service like FIOS. Expect to see more traffic-based cost structures. San Leandro seems to be low priority for upgrades. Need to plan ahead, 20 years? More? Need to consider impact on health. Risks to City: It’s a good idea to worry about where to go, need to worry about residences too. Why wasn’t this done years ago. It’ll increase the tax base. How do you build off ramps --the City should be concerned with that. Regulation? How is it regulated? General comments about the impact of broadband on their availability: Would like to see expanded fiber to residential users Some concerns on residential, but business service is a priority Also need to consider service to the schools San Leandro Commercial Broadband Strategy – City Council Workshop Draft 9 April 2012 Tellus Venture Associates Page 42 With increased use of telecommuting, residential service often is business service If history repeats itself, San Leandro will be last on the list as new technology comes online Reactions to the proposed fiber loop Any City revenue should be used for smaller residential customer price relief Bigger conduits will facilitate expansion in the future How will you build the off-ramps to make connections? Look at Silicon Valley Power as a model, service providers are customers, not competition What will be the impact of PUC regulation? How does this relate to the East Bay EDA Broadband Consortium?

Appendix B – City Policy Documents Memorandum To: Luke Sims, Community Development Director Via: Kathleen Livermore, Interim Planning Manager From: Maryann Miller, Planner III Date: September 19, 2007 Re: AT&T Project Lightspeed Information for Weekly Update After researching what other cities, including Oakland and San Ramon, did regarding granting encroachment permits for AT&T Project Lightspeed, the City of San Leandro developed its own process for evaluating the placement of utility boxes in the public Right-of-Way (ROW). The following is a brief outline of the process that the City is currently following, in cooperation with AT&T. Background Project Lightspeed is a network upgrade that will allow AT&T to replace existing facilities so that they can provide additional digital transmission using the common language of the Internet – Internet Protocol or “IP” as the universal platform for all of its services. In order to accomplish this, AT&T is proposing to place approximately 114 utility boxes (59” wide by 48” high by 26” deep) in the public ROW throughout various neighborhoods in San Leandro. Each location is being evaluated by both the Engineering and Planning Departments to ensure that their placement is associated with the fewest impacts possible to San Leandro neighborhoods and to avoid any potential aesthetic or sight distance issues, as well as other any other potential concerns. San Leandro, unlike other jurisdictions, is not requiring a formal entitlement process for the project. Instead, Planning & Engineering are using a cost recovery process wherein staff time is allocated to evaluate each of the sites and this information is conveyed to AT&T. AT&T then is required to either relocate the utility box to a more suitable location, paint the utility box to blend in with existing natural features, or is otherwise conditioned to improve the project. Public Notification The City of San Leandro is sending out courtesy notices (with a photograph of a typical utility box) to adjacent property owners and tenants, informing them about the project and providing them with a 14-day comment period. City staff is fielding questions as they arise from the public about the project. Additionally, AT&T’s contact information is posted on the notices in case residents have additional questions about Project Lightspeed. If, after the notification period commences, no additional comments are received from the public and no new issues are raised, Engineering issues an encroachment permit to AT&T to begin work within the public right-of-way. San Leandro Commercial Broadband Strategy – City Council Workshop Draft 9 April 2012 Tellus Venture Associates Page 44 CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL AT&T PROJECT LIGHTSPEED 16 Preda Street (CN#0812-6368040) The following Conditions of Approval shall apply to the encroachment permit issued for the AT&T Project Lightspeed location at 16 Preda Street, San Leandro. The encroachment permit conditions are not limited to the Standard Conditions. The applicable provisions of the Federal and State law, and City of San Leandro laws, ordinances, regulations and standards shall also be considered as conditions of all encroachment permits. The City of San Leandro may modify any of these conditions or add conditions as necessary. Standard Conditions 1. AT&T representatives shall be available to answer inquiries from adjacent property owners and members of the public who may be affected by placement of utility boxes adjacent to their business or residence. 2. Notice shall be provided to adjacent property owners at least fourteen (14) days prior to commencement of construction. 3.

Page 2 16 Preda Street San Leandro Commercial Broadband Strategy – City Council Workshop Draft 9 April 2012 Tellus Venture Associates Page 46 4 April 2012 Dear Property Owner: RE: Job # 6368040 AT&T California plans to provide your neighborhood with enhanced communication services through an initiative called Project Lightspeed. AT&T is upgrading its network to deliver new services that will bring your neighborhood next-generation interactive TV, enhanced video\home entertainment services and super high-speed Internet connections —all through your phone line. As they do so, they are committed to being a good neighbor and working with communities like San Leandro, as well as individual property owners. You’ll likely see signs of their upgrade progress in your neighborhood. AT&T is working cooperatively with the City of San Leandro to keep you informed. Above ground cabinetry is an integral component of the infrastructure upgrade. In most cases they are about 48 inches high, 26 inches deep, and 59 inches wide, and one cabinet will service your neighborhood. It will be located adjacent to 16 Preda Street, near Davis Street. There will also be some associated trenching of the pavement near the new boxes which will be restored to like-new condition. Construction will begin in the next several weeks and will take about 10 to14 days to complete. This will be done with the utmost consideration to you and your neighbors. If you have any questions about Project Lightspeed overall, please contact AT&T within the next fourteen (14) days, or by January 4, 2008, by leaving a message at (866) 476-1212. An AT&T representative will contact you by the next business day. For further information about the project location, you may also contact Kelly Hamer, Planner, City of San Leandro Community Development Department, at (510) 577-3348. { 16.79 Preda St –Job #6368040 } San Leandro Commercial Broadband Strategy – City Council Workshop Draft 9 April 2012 Tellus Venture Associates Page 47 Typical utility box installation for Project Lightspeed { 16.79 Preda St –Job #6368040 } San Leandro Commercial Broadband Strategy – City Council Workshop Draft 9 April 2012 Tellus Venture Associates Page 48 San Leandro Commercial Broadband Strategy – City Council Workshop Draft 9 April 2012 Tellus Venture Associates Page 49 14.

Appendix D – Broadband Policy Benchmarks Policy Benchmark Source Facilitation of Infrastructure Development Delineates the process for ensuring fairness and competition, including transparency, public notice and timetables and deadlines for timely review of any required local permits. CETF Promulgates procedures to streamline the approval of easement encroachment permits consistent with principles of fairness and competition for all providers. CETF Requires and provides a process for notification and information about all major infrastructure and construction projects, including transportation projects and new residential subdivisions, to a shared data base so that broadband and other utility providers have the opportunity to coordinate infrastructure deployment in shared trenches, conduit, poles and towers, and other appurtenances. CETF Sets forth the process and procedures for incorporating broadband into all infrastructure projects. CETF Establishes an ongoing role for the City to play in identifying identifying broadband needs and working proactively with businesses and service providers to meet those needs. San Leandro Requires conduit space within joint utility trenches for future high speed data transmission systems. CETF Incorporates routine placement of broadband conduit into utility undergrounding programs. San Leandro Requires installation of broadband conduit as a part of any suitable public works project. HR 1695 Identifies local public rights-of-way and public facilities that can be used for broadband deployment. CETF Makes the use of public assets available to all providers on a competitive basis, commensurate with adopted policies regarding public benefits. CETF Authorizes longer-term “evergreen” permits that provide a right to providers to enter specified easements to upgrade their infrastructure for an indefinite or significant period of time (such as 20 years) to upgrade the broadband service consistent with the adopted policies. CETF Support for Smart Infrastructure and Connected Communities Accommodates high technology, broadband intensive businesses in zoning ordinances and procedures.

Appendix F – Glossary ADSL Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line: DSL service with a larger portion of the capacity devoted to downstream communications, less to upstream. Typically thought of as a residential service. ATM Asynchronous Transfer Mode: A data service offering by ASI, that can be used for interconnection of customer’s LAN. ATM provides service from 1 Mbps to 145 Mbps utilizing Cell Relay Packets. Backhaul Connecting Internet access to a location over long or short distances. Traditionally, wired networks have been necessary for backhaul, but with 802.16, also known as WiMAX, backhaul via wireless will become even more common than it is with WiFi. Bandwidth The amount of data transmitted in a given amount of time; usually measured in bits per second, kilobits per second, and megabits per second. Bit A single unit of data, either a one or a zero. In the world of broadband, bits are used to refer to the amount of transmitted data. A kilobit (Kb) is approximately 1,000 bits. A megabit (Mb) is approximately 1,000,000 bits. Broadband “Broadband” refers generally to any telecommunications service capable of supporting digital data transmission at high speeds. These services can include and/or support Internet, television, telephone, private data networks and various specialized uses. Broadband service can be delivered in a variety of ways, including telephone lines (e.g. DSL), coaxial cable (e.g. cable modem), fiber optic cable (e.g. Lit San Leandro), wireless cellular/mobile service (e.g. cell phones, tablets, wireless modems), WiFi, point-to-point and point-to-multipoint wireless service (e.g. TelePacific, Etheric) and hybrid networks (XO Communications). Although different organizations use different criteria, the California Public Utilities Commission considers 6 Mbps download and 1.5 Mbps upload speed to be a standard for adequate broadband service availability. Unless otherwise stated, this report uses the CPUC definition. Byte The amount of memory space needed to store one character, which is normally 8 bits. San Leandro Commercial Broadband Strategy – City Council Workshop Draft 9 April 2012 Tellus Venture Associates Page 62 Cable modem A device that hooks to your cable TV line to allow your computer to receive data at about 1.5 Mbps. The theoretical maximum for downstream transactions is 27 Mbps and 2.5 Mbps upstream, but the connection is usually much slower because the provider may be hooked to the Internet via a T-1 line. CDMA The type of digital cellular phone network used throughout most of the United States, but rare elsewhere in the world. CDMA stands for Code Division Multiple Access, and CDMA2000 1x is the third-generation, or 3G, extension to which CDMA cellular operators are upgrading their networks. It is a digital cellular technology that uses spread-spectrum techniques. Unlike competing systems, such as GSM, that use TDMA, CDMA does not assign a specific frequency to each user. Instead, every channel uses the full available spectrum. Individual conversations are encoded with a pseudo-random digital sequence. CDMA consistently provides better capacity for voice and data communications than other commercial mobile technologies, allowing more subscribers to connect at any given time, and it is the common platform on which 3G technologies are built. Cell The geographic area covered by a cellular telephone transmitter. A connected group of cells form a cell system, which is what you gain access to when you sign up for cellular telephone service. Cellular A mobile communications system that uses a combination of radio transmission and conventional telephone switching to permit telephone communications to and from mobile users within a specified area. CLEC Competitive Local Exchange Carrier: Wireline service provider that is authorized under state and Federal rules to compete with ILECs to provide local telephone service. CLECs provide telephone services in one of three ways or a combination thereof: a) by building or rebuilding telecommunications facilities of their own, b) by leasing capacity from another local telephone company (typically an ILEC) and reselling it, and c) by leasing discreet parts of the ILEC network referred to as UNEs. San Leandro Commercial Broadband Strategy – City Council Workshop Draft 9 April 2012 Tellus Venture Associates Page 63 Coaxial cable A type of cable that can carry large amounts of bandwidth over long distances. Cable TV and cable modem service both utilize this technology. Commercial grade Broadband service similar to residential service in that the provider takes effectively all responsibility for installing, maintaining and supporting the service. Speeds are similar (6 to 100 Mbps), but service levels, reliability, consistency and pricing are higher. CPCN Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity: Authorization given by the CPUC to telecommunications carriers in order to provide service in the state of California. Dial-Up A technology that provides customers with access to the Internet over an existing telephone line. DS3 A dedicated phone connection supporting data rates of about 43Mbps (megabits per second). Also called a T-3, the line actually consists of 672 individual channels, each of which supports 64Kbps. DS3 lines are used mainly by Internet Service Providers (ISPs) connecting to the Internet backbone. Large businesses also use DS3 lines when they have large
