Verizon FCC ULS / EX Parter / Hammer Wireless

No charge to all my good friends here for this bit of information.


Not really sure of why it is under Verizon's particular case but it is there. Of interesting note is the speed to market and economics summary on page 3. 90 Days to roll out to 2500 homes at a cost of less than $600 per customer versus 18 months and $4K to $6K versus cable/fios. Not sure how accurate that is but it is probably somewhere in the area.

Dear Ms. Dortch:
On behalf of Hammer Fiber Optics Investments, Ltd. (“Hammer”), we submit this exparte notice of our meeting on September 5, 2017, with those members of the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau copied on this letter. Lisa Chandler Cordell of Breisach Cordell
PLLC, along with Mark Stogdill, Hammer’s Chief Executive Officer, attended this meeting. As outlined in more detail in the enclosed materials distributed at the meeting, we discussed Hammer’s innovative hybrid fiber/wireless system that recently launched using leased LMDS spectrum to provide triple-play service. In addition, we explained how Hammer and its unique technology are working to help bridge the digital divide with service to underserved and unserved areas, as well as to provide a competitive broadband service to large incumbent providers that presently dominate the broadband market. This is important as the Commission has before it proceedings that look to makes changes to various spectrum bands to allow for 5G technology, as well as applications that, if granted, will entrust an already dominant provider with control over LMDS and other wireless licenses that currently are the subject of Spectrum Manager Leasing Arrangements. Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns.
