Connect This! Episode 14 - The Finance Edition

On Episode 14 of the Connect This! show co-hosts Christopher and Travis Carter (USI Fiber) are joined by Doug Dawson (President, CCG Consulting) and Kim McKinley (CMO, UTOPIA Fiber) to talk public and private financing models for building network infrastructure.

The group dives into the numbers and talk about the economics that make networks thrive, and how to put together a recipe for success that accounts for favorable term length, rates, collateral, and surety. They talk about the different models to broadband buildouts, types of financing available to municipalities and small private ISPs, grant programs, and economies of scale.
