SubcommitteeoftheCityCouncilandSchoolBoard | 2016-06-27 | 9 | OVERARCHING VISION Based on these insights, this Strategic Plan is guided by an overarching vision: Public agencies, businesses, community organizations, educational institutions, philanthropic organizations, and residents understand the importance of Broadband and the benefits of addressing it regionally. These entities and individuals have become an organized and effective constituency for supporting regional Broadband deployment, access, and adoption. Implementation of the East Bay Broadband Strategic Plan is supported by a variety of philanthropic, corporate, and public funding sources. The region is making good progress becoming a "Smart Region" - smart buildings, smart workplaces, a smart grid, and smart transportation leading to a sustainable economy/way of life. EBBC has decided that the most effective way to utilize its limited resources to accomplish this vision, is to organize its Strategic Plan into two related regional initiatives-the East Bay Broadband Infrastructure Initiative and the East Bay Connects Digital Inclusion Initiative. EAST BAY BROADBAND INFRASTRUCTURE INITIATIVE The East Bay Broadband Infrastructure Initiative (Infrastructure Initiative) is the primary vehicle for addressing the Broadband Infrastructure, Economic Development, and E-Government aspects of the East Bay Broadband Strategic Framework. Infrastructure Metrics The EBBC Infrastructure Initiative is modeled in part on the Joint Venture Silicon Valley Wireless Communications Initiative, which is seeking to accomplish 4G wireless coverage for all cities in the South Bay. However, EBBC has included three other metrics to guide its actions and assess its progress in moving toward optimal Broadband infrastructure in the East Bay. The four metrics are: 1. All parts of the East Bay have wireline and/or wireless coverage of at least 6 mbps download and 1.5 mbps upload. 2. All cities and metro areas have 4G wireless coverage. 3. All major cities have Broadband access of at least 15 mbps. 5 | SubcommitteeoftheCityCouncilandSchoolBoard/2016-06-27.pdf |
