| Quarterly Activities/Project Description |
Com Net Incorporated (CNI) continued to be engaged in procurement of small awards; addressing route modifications with NTIA; preliminary route design and permitting activity planning pending route modifications; cable placement operations; equipment deployment; city-pair cutover; and negotiation of agreement with Broadband Service Providers. CNI administration was actively involved in 2013 4th quarter performance progress reporting, 2012 annual performance progress reporting, monitoring of sub-contractor award, and other project management activities. At the end of the quarter CNI had designed 597route miles, secured permits on approximately 550 miles and placed approximately 502 miles of fiber optic cable, approximately 16.35 miles through the joint build with Sycamore Telephone Company, with another 19 miles of underground inner duct placed as part of the new construction and ready for cable placement in the upcoming quarter. KG Myers had four plow train crews operational during the quarter each accompanied by supporting directional drilling crews. Additional directional drilling crews were placed into service during the quarter on a subcontracting basis. CNI had purchased and received shipment of additional dense wave division multiplexing (DWDM) units, completed installation of DWDM at several sites and turned-up multiple city-pairs. Finally, as of the end of the quarter CNI had delivered improved service to additional government and healthcare community anchor institutions. |
| Jobs Created |
54.05 |
| Description of Jobs Created |
During the 1st Quarter of 2013 the project retained/created a total of 54.05 full-time equivalent jobs. The increase in full-time equivalents over the prior quarter was driven by the incremental directional drilling (boring) crews; installation of DWDM chassis; and cut-over of city pairs over new construction, new leased facilities and existing leased fiber facilities. In addition to the outside plant construction crews, the project retained/created jobs in the following categories: Administrative duties associated with on-going community outreach, compliance with program requirements, contract negotiations, legal counsel, small award procurement, financial system administration, route design engineers, route inspection professional, outside fiber plant construction management, network service sales, contract management and provisioning professionals involved with the execution of a master service agreement for wholesale services and the provisioning of wholesale transport services. CNI also continued to engage CNI service bureau employees for the billing of circuits to Community Anchor Institutions and wholesale providers as CNI completed service activations. |

| Infrastructure Purpose and Rationale |
The infrastructure being deployed consists primarily of underground fiber optic cable facilities for establishing and upgrading backhaul transport capabilities for powering new and emerging broadband services throughout western Ohio. The facilities will be used in full or in part to deliver new and improved broadband services to community anchor institutions throughout the area. Com Net's project will maximize the value for the dollar and the deployment time line by partnering with rural community-oriented broadband service providers who will make use of the middle mile facilities in extending the overall network reach in bringing new and improved broadband services to community anchor institutions, carriers, commercial entities and residential users. |
