Integrated Broadband Infrastructure & Services Model
Broadband Infrastructure Rollout Model
• USAASA follows an “Anchor Tenancy” rollout model– Government and other stakeholders are identified (beneficiaries)– These stakeholders are engaged with the objective of seeking their
support and becoming paying anchor clients of the infrastructure– This addresses the issue of sustainability of the infrastructure
• Following engagement with key stakeholders, USAASA invites operators, through a competitive bidding process, to apply for subsidies to rollout the infrastructure
• The winning operator is then required to connect and service key points of interest within the local municipality and provide on-going support
