San Leandro Commercial Broadband Strategy <br />2.2. Summary of research <br />The assessment of commercial broadband availability, speed and service levels began <br />with: <br />• Two broadband workshops for local businesses. <br />• Meetings with individual businesses and property owners. <br />• An online survey of the San Leandro business community. <br />• Meetings with Internet service providers. <br />• Meetings with the San Leandro and San Lorenzo School Districts. <br />• Follow up contact to obtain additional information. <br />• Evaluation of state data and initiatives. <br />2.3. Workshops <br />The first workshop was a lunch meeting held on July 19, 2011 at the City's Senior <br />Community Center and the second was a morning session on July 26, 2011 at the Davis <br />Street Transfer Station Education Center, which is located in an area previously <br />identified as lacking commercial broadband availability. In total, 23 people from 16 <br />local businesses, non - profits and the public attended, including representatives from <br />AT &T and Comcast. <br />The comments, ideas and concerns expressed in the two workshops were generally <br />consistent, focusing on specific areas which lacked access to commercial or industrial <br />grade broadband service, ideas for improving broadband service and support for the Lit <br />San Leandro project, albeit with some questions regarding benefits and risks for the <br />City. Concerns expressed included reservations about how broadband would be <br />regulated and where it would installed but, equally, participants were worried about the <br />economic impact on the City if broadband projects weren't pursued. <br />Participants discussed various issues they were having with broadband availability, and <br />identified specific locations where commercial grade broadband service was not <br />available. Problem areas mentioned included Downtown San Leandro and industrial <br />areas along I -880 and to the west. <br />4 As used in this report, "commercial grade" service is defined as being similar to residential service in <br />that the provider takes effectively all responsibility for installing, maintaining and supporting the service. <br />Speeds are similar (6 to 100 Mbps), but service levels, reliability, consistency and pricing are higher. <br />"Industrial grade" service refers to service where the customer plays a much greater role in provisioning <br />and supporting the service, including buying different elements from different vendors and managing <br />installation and support. Speeds would be higher — perhaps as high as a Gigabit per second or more — and <br />quality of service levels could be as high as Tier 1. Comcast's Business Class service or AT &T's business <br />DSL service are examples of commercial grade service. A DS -3 or dark fiber strands are examples of <br />industrial grade service. <br />16 July 2012 Tellus Venture Associates Page 6 <br />
