The Good Old Days

“It used to be a whole lot easier. If

I needed a telephone, I called the

telephone company and they

installed it. If it stopped working, I

called them and they fixed it.”


In 1964• Long distance calls cost $.60 to $1.00 per minute. ($3.25

to 5.43 in today’s dollars).

• Mobile telephone service was limited to 12 simultaneous calls in any city and for use in vehicles due to the weight of the equipment.

• Coded ringing and 8 party service was the norm for rural areas.

• Fax capacity did not exist.

• Data communications consisted of telegraph service.

• Most calls sounded like there really were tin cans and string involved.

• The very beginnings of the Internet was still 5 years away

Community Telecom Assessment Planning Process• PHASE I

– Needs Assessment– Survey

• PHASE II– Infrastructure Inventory– Business Models

• PHASE III– Technology Plan Development– Financing Alternatives– Final Report


• Infrastructure is not a “Silver Bullet”– Applications and uses are the goal– “Build it and they will use it” doesn’t

always work– Can be a “double-edged sword” for

rural communities– Success dependent upon end-user

demand

• Takes 10 times longer than anyone anticipates
