Description of IDACOMM Broadband Network:
The current network consists of a three node SONET OC-48 ring between several node
locations, including a collocation at Qwest Main and a three node SONET OC-
subtended ring. The Point of Presence (POP), for IDACOMM's broadband network is
currently located in West Boise. IDACOMM is also currently collocated with Syringa, a
regional intrastate long distance carrier and 360 Networks, a long distance carrier. This
broadband traffic consists of DS-1s, DS-3s, and Fast Ethernet. This network also
consists of "point to point" Gigabit Ethernet network from various locations (Boise,
Meridian, Nampa and Caldwell) linked back to IDACOMM's POP.
8) Quantify the percentage and number of potential Idaho subscribers that could be served with
the broadband equipment and the percentage and number of non-Idaho subscribers that will
be/could be served by the broadband network.
IDACOMM's network is currently a Treasure Valley Metropolitan Area Broadband
Network. All subscribers at this time are Idaho subscribers. The current network is
capable of serving 100% of potential Idaho subscribers within a short distance from
IDACOMM's fiber optic network utilizing existing broadband equipment. The Gigabit
Ethernet equipment is capable of supporting 18,488 megabits per second (mbps) of
traffic. Total estimated Idaho subscribers utilizing (assumption) 3 mbps of traffic would
support 6,100 subscribers.
9) Enclose a statement certifying that the applicant has read the applicable statutes for broadband
investment income tax credit and the applicant believes that the subject broadband equipment
qualifies for the tax credit under Idaho Code S 63-30291.
