There is no one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to deploying broadband in communities, and this includes consideration of broadband business models. Join a conversation on successful broadband projects that will highlight three approaches that network owners have used to achieve their communities connectivity goals. The models include: a) Private owned/ public supported; b) Public owned/ private enabled; c) Joint public-private ownership. Representatives from network providers who have successfully employed each model will discuss the rationale for choosing a particular strategy, key benefits, and trade-offs.
