He said it is adequate service. <br /> Commissioner Hamilton asked about the criteria for the affordable connectivity plan. <br /> Travis Myren said he will follow up with that information, but believes it is tied to federal <br /> poverty levels. <br /> Commissioner Greene said that the RFP specced 100 megabytes as the baseline and <br /> that meets the federal guidance. <br /> Travis Myren said the federal guidance is 100 MBPS. <br /> Chair Price asked if 100 MBPS would support three children doing schoolwork and a <br /> business at the same time. <br /> Travis Myren said it might be more of a strain for higher number of people in a <br /> household, but it is adequate for most households. <br /> Slide #5 <br /> Manager's Recommendation <br /> • Approve and authorize the County Managerto sign the amended <br /> Network Development Agreement and any amendments that do not <br /> exceed the contractamount with North State Communications <br /> Advanced Services,LLC to construct,operate,and maintain a fiber <br /> to the premise network in unserved locations in Orange County <br /> ORANGE COUNTY <br /> r k7RTI r CAROLINA <br />
