Internet Service Provider (ISP) Fees

13 Internet Service Provider (ISP) Fees K-20 is statewide INTRA-net K-20 Network does not directly procure INTER-net access for customers OSPI contracts for ISP on behalf of connected K-12 sites No state subsidy for ISP No legislatively set rate structure –Estimates provided by OSPI at beginning of year –Actual cost determined at end of year, based on actual, total cost of service –Includes E-rate discounts

K-20 Connectivity Costs
18
17 K-20 Co-pay Principles Established by K-20 Network Consortium All sites must pay the same amount per unit of transport – regardless of institution size, location, or connectivity methodology Co-pay is amount needed from connected institutions after state subsidy and E-rate reimbursements Must be in line with options available in competitive marketplace Much lower than actual cost to provide service
19
18 2011 – 2013 K-20 Budget Federal E-rate 24% ($7.2M)
20
19 K-20 Co-pay History 1996: –When K-20 was established, co-pay was set based on cost of a T1 in downtown Seattle ($625/quarter) 2005: –Co-pay revised to reflect increase in Ethernet availability, cheaper rural options –Moved to usage-based model; not capacity based –Co-pay set at $400/Mbps/quarter up to 6 Mbps; $60/Mbps/quarter beyond 6 –Only 25 sites had usage > 6 Mbps 2012: –Co-pay revised again to address high bandwidth users –228 sites now have usage > 6 Mbps –59 sites now have usage > 50 Mbps
21
20 2012 Co-pay Review (presented to K-20 Network Consortium May 8, 2012) Expenses have remained reasonably stable, in spite of increases in bandwidth utilization –Contributing Factors: Removal of all ISDN video connections and many T1s Installation of lower cost Ethernet connections Transition of CTS KOCO responsibilities to UW Increases in E-rate reimbursements (60% in 2000; 71% in 2012) Usage has increased at approximately 50% per year Transport expenses have not increased at the same rate Without changes to co-pay model, sector co-pay invoices would increase at a greater rate than K-20 expenses Co-pay rates for high bandwidth users are increasingly out of line with competitive marketplace
22
21 Proposed Quarterly Co-pay Reduction (approved by K-20 Network Consortium May 8, 2012) 95 th % usage (Mbps) Cost per Quarter 54595 $400/Mbps $25/Mbps$40/Mbps$50/Mbps (currently 174 sites)(currently 34 sites)(currently 17 sites) (currently 199 sites)
23
22 Recent History Over the past few months, some districts have indicated that they were paying more for K-20 than they could to other vendors Some of these claims were easily addressed: –For high-bandwidth users, the new co-pay structure addressed this –In some cases, vendors and districts were basing these claims on outdated or inaccurate information In others, it was determined to be true K-20 and OSPI committed to districts that the co-pay would be reassessed, and any necessary changes made
24
23 2013 Co-pay Review School Districts that qualify for high e-rate discounts (80% and above) may be paying more for co-pay than they would for the post-discount portion of competitive offerings (10 – 20% of the actual cost of service) Current approach: –K-20 receives approximately $5M in e-rate reimbursements annually for circuits procured for K-12 and library sites –Co-pay for all sites is the same – regardless of sector or e-rate discount qualification –State appropriation currently subsidizes higher ed sites at a greater rate than K-12 and library sites, as E-rate provides much of the K-12 and library subsidy. In order for co-pay to stay in line with competitive marketplace, and meet legislative intent, additional changes to co-pay must be made
