23. Beginning Steps
Initial Funding – $4 million of existing capital funds and $20 million of Third Frontier Funds will:
Let OSCnet continue to fully serve its current clients.
Leverage the state’s current investment in OSCnet to use available capacity for other state functions.
Upgrade the backbone architecture and incorporate last-mile DSL, cable, and Ethernet technologies.
Support outreach activities to articulate plans, services, and offerings, as well as demonstrate options and share case studies.
Additional funding – new and reprogrammed – will be necessary in future years to achieve the goals of the Broadband Ohio Initiative.
