/~ <br />Elk River ---~ <br />Municipal Utilities <br />13069 Orono Parkway <br />Elk River, MN 55330 <br />June 1, 2006 <br />To: Elk River Municipal Utilities Commission <br />Jerry Takle <br />Jim Tralle <br />John Dietz <br />From: Bryan Adams <br />Subject: Community Wide Internet Service <br />phone: 763.441.2020 <br />Fax: 763.441.8099 <br />Many areas of our community lack internet access to their homes. Jim Tralle asked staff <br />to investigate the possibility of ERMU providing such a service for our community. <br />Mark Erickson of Hiawatha Broadband Communications will make a presentation at our <br />commission meeting. Mark was the former city administrator for Lakeland, MN and <br />very knowledgeable about broadband. He has given numerous presentations to MMUA <br />groups about this issue. <br />Enclosed are copies of the 2 power point presentations Mark will be using. They are as <br />follows: <br />1) Wire & Wireless Telecommunication Technology Basics <br />2) Hiawatha Broadband Communications. A short history of who Hiawatha <br />Broadband Company is. <br />This will be a great opportunity for all of us to ask questions and learn about this <br />industry. I have much more information but I will distribute it at a later date after this <br />meeting. <br />
