BROADBAND COMMUNITIES’ About BBCEDITORIAL REVIEWMust-read content for property owners and network deployers.

FEATURE STORIESWritten by our editors and by leading analysts and experts, BBC’s feature stories provide in-depth coverage of issues affecting connected communities. Our features offer:

• Case studies of broadband deployments• Details of the “game-changing” technologies

and applications that are driving the rollout of Fiber-To-The-Premises

• Interviews with policymakers and industry leaders

• Coverage of events and presentations at major trade shows

• Actionable intelligence to support decisions about broadband technology, financing, and service delivery.

INDUSTRY LISTS

BBC’s editors compile two types of industry lists, both widely regarded as authoritative:

• Lists of technology suppliers. In addition to our prestigious “FTTH Top 100” list published each July and “MDU Top 100 Technology Providers” published in October, we also feature lists of broadband application providers, equipment distributors, and test equipment vendors.

• Lists of broadband service providers deploying Fiber-To-The-Home. In addition to those included on the “FTTH Top 100” list, we compile periodic censuses of independent telephone companies, municipalities, amenity providers and cable companies with FTTH deployments and maintain interactive lists on the BBC website.

Additionally, we offer several opportunities each year for vendors to submit company profiles or descriptions of new products that will interest certain subsets of readers, or of products they are displaying at various trade shows.

COLUMNS/DEPARTMENTSNews and Views (online): Breaking news items about trends and technologies of interest to broadband service providers: product launches; vendor mergers and acquisitions; and market research about telecom services and equipment, consumer demand for broadband and related subjects.

Why We Need More Fiber: Editors’ selection of news items, trends or statements that clearly illustrate why next-generation telecommunications networks are needed.

Fiber Deployment Roundup (online): Breaking news items about new and ongoing fiber-to-the-premises deployments throughout the U.S. and worldwide. Highlights appear in the print magazine.

Municipal FTTH Deployment Snapshot: Profile of a municipally owned Fiber-To-The-Home network, including technology choices, equipment used, services offered, and challenges and successes.

Property of the Month: Profile of a broadband deployment at a multiple-dwelling-unit property, including technology choices, equipment used, services offered, and business and marketing arrangements.

Provider Perspective: Expert’s column describing the business issues facing private cable operators (broadband providers serving multiple dwelling units), presented by a leading consultant to this industry.

Owners Corner: Property owner’s perspective on the business, legal, and technical aspects of delivering technology amenities to residents in multifamily properties.

Metrics: A leading technologist in the multifamily housing industry reports on best practices for delivering broadband services in multifamily properties.

MISSIONBroadband Communities Magazine (BBC) is the only publication exclusively dedicated to providing financial and technological information to network builders and deployers who are planning or currently building the “fiber-connected community.” As the leading source of information on digital and broadband technologies, the magazine and its digital edition, newsletter and website are relied upon for their extensive reports, features, maps, charts and databases.

EDITORIAL SYNOPSISBBC gives its readers news, analysis and practical know-how about designing, financing, installing, operating and monetizing FTTH/FTTP and other next-generation broadband networks. With a focus on residential properties, developments and municipalities, BBC helps readers understand why the “fat broadband pipe” and advanced network services have become critical to the viability of their communities – and how to gain the benefits of next-generation broadband for their communities. BBC is edited for network builders and deployers, including service providers, municipal officials and property owners and developers.

BROADBAND COMMUNITIES A Recipient of the FTTH Council Prestigious Star Award.The FTTH Council Star Award recognizes a person, community or company that has gone above and beyond what is expected in the advancement of Fiber-To-The-Home. In 2008, BBC received this outstanding accolade for its educational mission in publicizing the benefi ts of Fiber-To-The-Home — including how fi ber helps create jobs and attract businesses, how it brings advanced broadband services to underserved and rural communities,

and why fi ber is a future-proof investment for broadband network deployers. BBC was also applauded for publishing the first FTTH Primer in collaboration with the FTTH Council, a document that has created fiber enthusiasts among public officials and real estate developers and has led them to choose FTTH. The Star Award also cited two areas where

BBC was of exceptional value, noting BBC’s role in educating audiences in multiple dwelling unit (MDU) and community deployments. Finally, BBC

was praised for its industry-leading annual Summit, next scheduled to be held in Austin, Texas in mid April 2014.

BROADBAND COMMUNITIES’ Print SpecificationsAd Sizes

Pages with bleeds: Please be sure to keep the live text at least 3/16” away from final trim, or it may be trimmed off during binding.

Ad RequirementsBBC can accept a wide variety of formats from its advertising clientele. We do ask that you use the appropriate software in order to prevent production and print problems.

File Formats:Although we can accept a wide variety of file formats we prefer ads saved in either PDF, EPS or TIFF formats. All files must be saved for 4/C process printing. Please be sure to flatten all files to prevent transparency issues. All colors must be converted to process for 4/C printing – no spot colors. All fonts must be embedded in your file. Please convert fonts to outlines for EPS files. PDF files must be distilled or saved with PDF-X1A standards.

Images (Rater):This is typically photographs. Files should be saved as either TIFF or JPEG images. Mode should be CMYK and not RGB. The resolution or ppi should be saved at 266-300. Low resolution images are typically 72 ppi and have to be resampled at 266-300 ppi for print, resulting in smaller than expected image sizes and may not be able to be used at all. Please do not use images pulled from websites as they are typically low resolution reproductions and may have copyright laws that protect against using them.

Digital Photography:Most digital images are okay for use. The images must be shot with a 3 megapixel or higher camera and must be shot in large format. JPEG or TIFF formats are okay for use from a digital camera.

Artwork (Vector Files):Please save these as either EPS or Native Illustrator files. Please remove all unused colors from the color palette and make sure that all colors are converted to CMYK and are process colors.

Charts can be created with the use of Excel. Please use solid colors. Gradient patterns from Excel will not always reproduce correctly. Charts created from Excel will be reworked in Illustrator via copy and paste. Some formatting may have to be corrected for print production. Please allow additional time for this process.Files that do not adhere to the above specifications may require additional work or may print incorrectly. Publisher assumes no responsibility for ads that are incorrectly produced.

A color sample and proof must accompany all ad submissions. Publisher is not responsible for ads that print incorrectly or for color inconsistency if a color proof or page proof is not sent.

Logo Submission:The preferred format for logo submission is EPS (Vector) files. These are easily rescaleable and produce much sharper than TIFF or JPEG images. TIFF or JPEG formats are accepted as long as they are 266-300 dpi in resolution. Logos pulled from websites will not produce correctly for high end print. Please make sure all process colors are used and that the file is saved as CMYK – no spot colors please.

Ads that have to be reworked in order to print correctly will be charged on a per hour basis of $55.00 per hour, or may be withheld from production.

Delays in production schedule due to incorrect ad submissions that result in any additional cost incurred to us will be added to the cost of your ad.

If you have questions or concerns about your ad, feel free to contact our Art Director, Karry Thomas, for assistance and information. She can be reached at 940-648-1118, or via email at [email protected].

Native File Formats:We can accept Macintosh InDesign 2.0 or InDesign CS files. We can also accept Macintosh Illustrator CS or lower files. Please make sure all fonts and artwork is packaged when submitting native files.

All other applications such as PageMaker, Quark, Freehand, Photoshop must be saved as EPS, PDF or TIFF formats. We do not support live files from these applications.

When corporate editor Steve Ross held his well-received fiber-to-the-home workshop at our 2012 Broadband Communities Summit in April, we realized it would also be valuable to many who were unable to attend. It was an Aha! moment for us. If you couldn’t come to the workshop, we can bring the workshop to you. In fact, we can bring any of several workshops, or even create one tailored especially for your community or organization.

Our aim is to inform the public and decision-makers about the benefits that fast, reliable fiber can bring. Education, health, energy conservation, entertainment, and job creation all gain. And there’s much more to it than that. Without advanced broadband, the nation will be poorer. There will be less economic opportunity and a lower quality of life for all Americans. Providing advanced broadband services in your community helps new businesses get established and existing ones expand – along with countless other benefits.

Now, in pursuit of that mission, we want to offer another service focused on fiber-to-the-home. It’s one where our editors and experts will visit your community or organization to help you learn about...

INNOVATIVE PATHWAYS toward paying for the network you need – even if you have no assets such as an existing electricity grid to mortgage.

NEW OPPORTUNITIES for public-private partnerships.

NEW WAYS to phase and bootstrap a project with current cash flow... sweat equity... and savings on a municipality’s existing communications costs.

VENDOR FINANCING which is often available in the form of delayed payments... just-in-time inventories... and equipment leasing.

A letter from the CEO of Broadband Communities

Our mission is education – and now we have a new way to carry it out.

Aha!On Fiber-to-the-Home Financing and Operations

CustomizedCourses at Your site

Let us come to your site for daylong or two-day intensive lessons. We’ll start with whatever tools you need, and teach you how to use them. We’ll also talk

about what has worked, what hasn’t, and where projects similar to yours have succeeded or gone bad. Our classes include custom exercises drawn from your situation, to give you hands-on experience in both the spreadsheet math and the thought processes involved. You’ll get beyond

some old misleading rules of thumb and gain a solid understanding of how FTTH is different.

Our sessions will give you such important information as: • How FTTH has MUCH higher revenue potential than copper • How you can get to positive cash flow as fast as possible
