The financial, political, and management feasibility associated with the rollout of gigabit connectivity in targeted Berks County jurisdictions, including current/projected public demand for software, hardware, and bandwidth was investigated. The project focused on the implementation of the Municipal Carrier Agreement, a unique public-private partnership model structured to comply with the 2004 PA Telecommunications Act.  The MCA aggregates public and private data transport demand and produces cost savings by localizing supply chains and revenue flows.  A data matrix designed by the Berks County IT Department was utilized to collect local baseline data, as well as exploratory research into the general cost structure associated with the IT infrastructure of local municipalities.  The main added value is the practical application of the research in the refinement of a local public-private partnership to promote gigabit connectivity.
