Well it’s official…the Federal Government has incorporated the need for Public Private Partnerships to deploy the nationwide (LTE) broadband network. This means good things.

1. Properly executed a P3 can keep a State from having to use State and Federal tax dollars to design, build and maintain the private network.

2. It provides investment opportunities for long-term recurring revenue streams accessible to State entities as well as private benefactors.

3. It could offset capital cost programs for a company, or government entity, that requires the use of LTE to sustain its operational capabilities.

4. It allows entities that ride on the LTE network to ability to move to a solid operational cost model for a fixed yearly fee.

5. It allows those entities that ride the broadband network the ability to offset the technology curve by allocating any requirements to a service level agreement/contract with a newly energized central organization that will run the network.

6. Most importantly; it allows Fire, Police and entities like Power Utilities to concentrate on their core business.
