San Leandro Commercial Broadband Strategy <br />respondents who were not pleased with the broadband options available to their <br />businesses were in the downtown areas, with a smaller number reporting problems in <br />the City's industrial areas. <br />2.5. Service provider follow up and gap identification <br />In general, the two primary Internet service providers in San Leandro —AT&T and <br />Comcast — have focused their investments on improving television and consumer grade <br />Internet service in residential areas. AT &T's recent service upgrades are focused in <br />residential zones, not commercial or industrial districts, and the information provided by <br />Comcast regarding its high speed broadband services, and confirmed by local <br />businesses, is consistent with this pattern as well. <br />Specifically, the workshops and online survey produced a consistent picture of <br />broadband service gaps in the commercial and industrial areas of San Leandro (see <br />Appendix A for details). This information was provided to the two major broadband <br />companies serving the City — Comcast and AT &T — for their evaluation and response. <br />Comcast responded with a breakdown of broadband service availability in some of the <br />City's commercial districts and AT &T displayed a map of its Project Lightspeed service <br />nodes. This information was consistent with data collected and mapped by the City. <br />Project Lightspeed is AT &T's ongoing program to upgrade residential broadband <br />service to speeds and service levels that can support video services similar to those <br />provided by cable television companies. Although it is not designed with businesses in <br />mind, it can support commercial grade service where it's available and, in general, <br />upgrades made for the purposes of the project result in better overall infrastructure. <br />For the purposes of analysis, the Project Lightspeed nodes were mapped by the City <br />using the assumption that each node had a uniform service radius of 1,500 feet. While <br />this approach is too rough to predict service availability at a particular location — the <br />actual coverage pattern of any given node is subject to many variables — it paints a <br />useful picture of which areas of the City have been targeted for upgrades by AT &T and <br />which have not. <br />When Comcast was provided with a sample list of problematic addresses, its <br />representatives initially responded quickly with an estimate that approximately a quarter <br />might have had problems in the recent past but should be able to order service now or in <br />the near future. About half were addresses that Comcast would consider deploying <br />service to if the business or property owners were willing to pay some or all of the cost <br />of constructing the necessary facilities — the company's existing budget for these types <br />16 July 2012 Tellus Venture Associates Page 8 <br />
