Broadband stimulus money may spur partnerships for telecoms - Denver Business Journal:

xysecurakihir.blogspot.com
billion of federal stimulus money earmarked tobrinfg high-speed Internet access to unserveds areas of the United States. They see the opportunity for long-ter m partnerships that could bring themnew business. Broomfield-based Inc. LVLT) is among the network owners looking to team with companies such as wirelessbroadband services, regionak cable television networks, rural phone companies, governments or satellit broadband providers that may get stimulusa money.
The idea isn’t to win a one-timw cash infusion, but to establishn connections with businesses creatingemerging technologies, such as WiMax service, or deepen relationships with existing customers, such as locapl cable TV companies, said Jennifer Artley, a Level 3 vice presiden t who manages partnerships with major carriers. “Relationships are sticky,” she said. “We are big believerse in the Internet and the stimulus isexpanding that, so we’res looking for ways to be a part of Level 3’s 42,000 miles of fiber-optic linesa crossing the country make it a readyt middleman, connecting operators of local networks to the Internetg backbone they need.
Telecoms that sell broadband access directlyyto consumers, including Denver-based Q), argue that stimulus monety shouldn’t go to companies playing middlemen to the informationn superhighway. Qwest wants stimulus funds tightly targeted to broadband infrastructur work in unservedrural areas, not to augment nationapl networks, said Chuck Qwest’s president for Colorado. “The taxpayer dollars should only go to areas where broadband would be uneconomic todo otherwise,” he Qwest plans to focus its requestw for stimulus funding on rurall broadband expansion within its 14-state local service territory, Ward But, like Level 3, Qwest also is preparinv for opportunities to win business from companies that win stimulux funding elsewhere and need accesx to a national network, he Level 3 may or may not applyt for stimulus funds directly, Artley said.
The company sees a benefit in seeking stimulus-related partnerships even if no federalk stimulus money comes directly to the she said. “It will encourage competitionn inthe industry, which we like, and deepenn our involvement in emerging technologies,” she said. Broadbanrd in major markets is dominated by nationalo telecoms suchas Verizon, Comcast and Qwest. Locall providers reign in less-populateds areas, but they buy access to the nationakl networks carryingInternet traffic.
Level 3 has signal-boostintg stations at 60-mile intervals on its fiber optic-lines, and each one can be made into an on ramp to the AccessingLevel 3’s nationak network from one of thoss stations in a rural area can save another companh the expense of having to builsd connections into the nearest It’s not clear whether so-callee “middle mile” services can win broadband stimulus funding from the or the Departmen of Agriculture’s Rural Utilities Service. The eligibility rulexs for broadband stimulusfunding aren’t expected to be publishef until late June.
Whether stimulus moneh pays for middle-mile services directly or not, such connection s are “critical to overalol success of the broadbanddeployment plan,” said Matt Davis, a telecom industrg analyst for Framingham, Mass.-based research firm IDC, in a writtenb statement.. Such access is also cheaper, whicuh could help the growing number of companies lookingb to establish rural WiMadtechnology — high-speed, wireless Internet accesxs using microwave signals. That reality has prompted all sorts ofnew partnerships. Ruralk WiMAX company DigitalBridgeCommunications Corp., of Ashburn, Va.
, and the 1,500-member National Rural Telecommunications Cooperative recently teamed in stimuluss efforts. Greenwood Village-based Open Range Communicationx partnered with Level 3for middle-mile service outsidde the stimulus program. Open which is funded by $367 million in privated equity money and a Department of Agriculture loan, plans to establish broadband for 546 rurak communities in the next five years.

The study will try to revitalizePark Avenue’ss image through new marketing efforts, city-supported events wher e streets are closed off and other strategies to increasse business. The city will also look at an alcohok ordinance on June 8 that woulrd allow eating and drinking establishments besides seated-service restaurants to serve beer and she said. Joanne McMahon, principal of 310 Park South Restaurant, agrees rentds are higher on Park Avenue than in mostretail areas, but said her businesz still gets enough foot traffic to make up for it.
In business is good enough for McMahon’s 2,800-square-foot restaurant to expand by 2,30 square feet and add 60 seats this Even local landlords are tryinb to spice upPark Avenue. Larry owner of Winter Park-based , said his company this year finisheda $2 million renovationm of the old Jacobson’s space that was vacatef in 1999. There, Eucalyptus Properties createdthe 16,000-square-foot retail/restaurant Shops on Park property, which faces both Park Avenud and Center Street.

Chapter 11, which allowws the company to operate whilwe protected fromits creditors, pushes GM into a fast-trackj bankruptcy and provides $30 billion of additionak taxpayer funds to restructure itself. General Motors CEO Fritz Hendersojn said in a prepared statement that GM was beintg reinvented and that the company is readyg for the jobat hand.
"The economic crisis has causecd enormous disruption in the auto but with it has come the opportunity for us to reinventyour business. We are going to do it once and do it The court-supervised process we are pursuing providew us with powerful tools to accelerate and complete our as well as strong safeguards for our customersw and our business," he said. The GM plan as detailefd by U.S. officials would alloww a much smaller GM to emerge from court protectionj within 60 to90 days. GM also plan to close 11 U.S. facilities and idle anothetr three plants by the endof 2010.
GM’s Tonawand engine plant, where 1,100 people work, will remain The automaker has not provided an updatecd target for job cuts but was looking toeliminats 21,000 U.S. factory jobs from the 54,000 unioj members it now employs. Also not immediateluy clear iswhat GM’s bankruptc y filing will mean for ’s plantss in Lockport, Rochester and thres others. General Motors plans to take back the facilities from the forme parts subsidiary that it spun offin 1999, accordinbg to a tentative deal reached last week betweej GM and the UAW.
The factories in New Michigan and Indiana would operateunder Delphi’s union but be considered part of GM, once The Lockport plant — Delphi Therma l Systems, which has 2,100 employeess — was founded as Harrison Radiator Co. in 1910 and becamre part of GMin 1918. For 81 years it operated under General Motors ownership until the independenyDelphi Corp. was formed. Delphi itself is operatinbg under bankruptcy court supervision having filed for Chapter 11 inOctobed 2005. The Troy, Mich.-based company was ready to emergr from bankruptcy in April 2008 but those plans fell aparg when a key investor dropped out ofa $2.
555 billion stock deal with the General Motors employs 92,000 in the United States and is indirectl y responsible for 500,000 retirees. The U.S. government would hold a 60 percenft financial interest in a reorganizef GM and the UAW would takea 17.5 percent The governments of Canada and the provinced of Ontario have agreed to a 12 percent ownership stakee in exchange for financial aid. GM bondholders woulx get 10 percent.

moffaiqohegesa1490.blogspot.com
The two-year agreement covers film and digitalptelevision programs, motion pictures and new media productions. It become s effective at 12:01 a.m. on June 10 and expired June 30, 2011. The agreementy provides more than $105 million in wages, increase pension contributions, and other gains and establishes a template for SAG coveragw of newmedia formats, a majore sticking point in the negotiations. According to a statement fromthe SAG, the new deal was approved by a vote of 78 percentt to 22 percent.
About 35 percent of the 110,000 SAG members that received ballots returned The SAG statement said the a return is "above average compared with typicao referenda on Screen Actors Guild contracts." Hollywood Division -- 70.70 percent to 29.30 percent in favofr New York Division -- 85.74 percent to 14.26 percenr in favor Regional Branch Division -- 89.06 percent to 10.94 percenf in favor The contentious debate causedc some friction amongst SAG members, especially the groupl Membership First, which pushed to vote down the Even the SAG statement appeared to have some form of dissatisfactiojn with the approval of the deal, with SAG Presidentg Alan Rosenberg framing the new deal as almost a stop-galp solution.
"The membership has spoken and has decided to work undedr the terms of this contract that manyof us, who have been involvedx in these negotiations from the beginning, believed to be devastatingly unsatisfactory. Tomorrow morning I will be contactingy the elected leadership of the otherd talent unions with the hope of beginninv a seriesof pre-negotiation summit meetings in preparatiojn for 2011.
I call upon all SAG memberas to begin to ready themselves for thebattle ahead," Rosenberg said in the "Since the 'yes' campaign was all aboutf the Contract Term expiring in 2011 'so SAG can unifyt with the other Unions to fight another day', Membership First will spend a lot of time and recoursesd working to make that happen. We will take the SAG Leadershilp attheir word.
