PUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP A broadband public-private partnership is a negotiated contract between a public and private entity to fulfill certain obligations to expand broadband services in a given area. In recent years, PPPs have been increasingly implemented as more municipalities employ public broadband and utility infrastructure in conjunction with private broadband providers. PPPs leverage public broadband assets, such as fiber, conduit, poles, facilities with private broadband provider assets, and expertise to increase the availability and access to broadband services. Municipalities forgo the "getting into the business" of providing retail services and instead, make targeted investments in their broadband infrastructure, and make it available to private broadband providers with the goal of enhancing their communities. In this type of model, the Town would be considered an Infrastructure Provider who maintains permanent ownership interest in the broadband infrastructure (e.g., conduit and perhaps dark fiber) that is funded by the Town for a "piece of the action", generally a negotiated revenue share paid by the provider. Exomple- 'The Town of Jupiter, Ft In 2013, the Town of Jupiter completed construction of its initial fiber ring, which was planned to interconnect city facilities at 1 Gbps and 10 Gbps speeds. Previous to this, AT&T provided 50 Mbps connections between the town's facilities at $75 thousand annually. The town constructed its ring for $400 thousand and expects a nearly 5 -year payback on this investment. Since completion of the town's ring, the town has been working with a national service provider to form a Public Private Partnership to deploy fiber to the business and fiber to the home services throughout the Jupiter town limits. Fiber end user services are currently unavailable in Jupiter, this agreement would introduce them for the first time. Under the initial agreement, the town would build out the broadband infrastructure and would connect the commercial and residential structures to the network at its cost. The network would remain under ownership of the town, and the partner provider would use the network to deliver fiber -based telecommunications services to the town's constituents. For its investment, the town would receive a revenue share of gross profits generated off the network. Under this agreement, the town would receive a revenue stream from its investment and would bring a faster, competitively priced service to its constituents.
