[01:40] To your name

[01:48] And you can just say one nation under high

[01:51] Invisible

[01:53] Whatever the protest is for

[01:58] For public input, I'm scared of personal parisus

[02:01] For five presentation discussion

[02:03] With presentations from my data

[02:06] Regarding fiber optic internet service, John Terry

[02:12] Thank You sir

[02:14] I brought James Kristallic with me

[02:16] I told ya guys

[02:18] At last meeting that she see my mug again this week

[02:21] So here i am, a phone through on that promise

[02:24] Last time i'll do it again my name is John Terry with IdeaTech

[02:27] I'm out of Gillesburg, Kansas

[02:29] About an hour up the road here in New York, County

[02:32] And being hearing means a lot to me

[02:35] My wife and actual were married

[02:37] In Miami, Oklahoma 12 years ago

[02:39] June 26th 2013

[02:41] It might be 28 sure

[02:43] But

[02:46] Men are not allowed

[02:48] To find that idea tech was interested

[02:50] For those reason many others

[02:52] Being someone who lives

[02:53] In the four states, I'm excited to see this region grow

[02:57] My M is a perfect opportunity for us

[03:00] This looks like alot of other communities we invest in

[03:04] So were very exciting

[03:06] To bring it ten million dollar private investment here

[03:09] And brings some quality good pay and jobs with benefits

[03:12] We've got affordable eight gig

[03:16] Some magical fiber that are looking forward

[03:18] Bring into every home business

[03:20] Not cherry picking

[03:21] Everybody who wants it

[03:24] And we don't have residential contracts

[03:27] So that's a good thing

[03:29] Obviously people dont like getting tied up by pieces of paper on residential service

[03:33] We donít cap data,

[03:35] I'm not going to give them

[03:38] Just delivered in service month and months

[03:40] That you pay for as long

[03:43] As long your happy with it

[03:45] Did turn an apartment

[03:47] On Wednesday at last week

[03:49] As soon as we get with the city and have a conversation about how to move forward

[03:54] James drove three hours down from Wichdon also

[03:57] I know he's got some things that seem like to say

[03:59] Yeah, no thank you

[04:01] The game is crystalic of ideas

[04:03] Been really looking at my MF for quite time

[04:06] We had some meetings in couple

[04:08] And it was an exciting idea

[04:10] When were did come

[04:12] From small town of Bielercans

[04:13] We were really interested in what it means to be left behind

[04:18] Rule kind of citizens

[04:20] So we've done this throughout the state of Kansas

[04:23] Built out about 130 communities

[04:25] All who did have a great option

[04:27] And so now, moving into across

[04:29] In some areas that may do

[04:31] Have an options but they don't need two options

[04:32] And we've kind of looked at this area quite some time

[04:35] We're kinda looking to the quapal commerce

[04:38] Even in my MF and now

[04:40] Here, here it is say hey

[04:42] Hey

[04:44] I want you able for a private internet before

[04:46] It was an idea that started as a senior high school project

[04:49] Back 1999

[04:51] For four High School students

[04:53] Daniel Frieson had a view

[04:56] There's been RFP for Bielerhigh School

[04:58] And they did it out from a witch at all

[05:01] They convinced the staff that said hey

[05:04] Can we put in RFP for this as well

[05:07] So, so you guys are high school seniors

[05:09] Sure do have any backing

[05:11] Starting with company

[05:13] With $250 each

[05:15] To be able to start idea tech

[05:17] In their application and

[05:20] For 1999

[05:23] In 2007

[05:25] They started buying up some failing DSL companies

[05:28] Because they realized that was kind of going out

[05:30] But Bieler Kansas, the first city in

[05:32] The state accounts have actual full residential fiber connection

[05:35] So when you look at Bieler very midnight community

[05:38] And it had access better access

[05:40] Some cities like Wichita

[05:42] Bigger seasick to peak

[05:44] That are in a State of Kansas

[05:46] It's really been our passion

[05:48] To serve these areas

[05:50] We look at the state and say okay, what is out there?

[05:53] What's their opportunity for idea tech to be able

[05:56] To come in help these residents

[05:58] And so when we coming into our pricing package

[06:00] You know they start $40 a month

[06:02] That sets us different from that competition

[06:04] When you're going

[06:06] So

[06:08] There are some jobs

[06:10] They will see local people working here

[06:13] Here

[06:14] We get involved in the community, we invest

[06:17] And then we will be investing in the chambers

[06:19] That really make this city a better place to live

[06:22] So I encourage you guys

[06:24] To reach out ideas that

[06:26] You might build their own infrastructure

[06:28] Okay

[06:30] We still want work together

[06:33] Things like we can do

[06:35] Like i said

[06:37] Your got your on down here

[06:39] Just wanted to talk about that

[06:42] Answer any type of questions you may have

[06:45] I'll let John kind see if there's anything else i missed

[06:47] There is one thing the James didn't mention

[06:49] That, thanks in important community like my am

[06:52] And it looks out these we participate

[06:54] What call

[06:56] The equal access program

[06:58] Is through

[07:00] Through

[07:02] If your on a fixed income

[07:05] We offer package

[07:06] We can't afford it

[07:08] I believe its 2499

[07:12] Yeah, that's correct

[07:15] So we do this because

[07:17] Because different income levels throughout

[07:20] Everywhere you go

[07:22] Not everybody cannot afford the same prices or neighbours

[07:25] But if your on a leave any body behind

[07:28] If our school districts to let them know

[07:31] Get in their kids and roll

[07:33] They have laws and can't be in their

[07:36] There are no enrollment

[07:38] But they take those packets

[07:40] And we do that

[07:43] We will get involved with the booster

[07:46] Everything within community of schools

[07:49] That's just one thing

[07:51] Help families

[07:53] In comes

[07:55] Right now

[07:57] You

[07:59] Questions for us guys or anything else that we can discuss

[08:09] The product sure you're going to offer

[08:11] Is it just internet, if your on a phone

[08:14] Or are getting off our TV?

[08:16] It would be an Internet and a phone service

[08:19] Yeah. That's exactly what

[08:22] We don't do tv

[08:24] You used the tv back in early 2000s

[08:27] But with learned is

[08:29] If they rise

[08:30] You have good internet access

[08:33] So we teach people how to stream

[08:36] We do information leading

[08:38] When coming into the community

[08:40] What exactly you need

[08:42] To connect with your feedback

[08:44] And draw a bunch of no contract

[08:47] If they come in and talk

[08:49] They just might be themselves

[08:51] There has been all I know

[08:53] Have watched TV or got yourself on

[08:55] But that's what it is

[08:57] It can start here

[08:58] You can work in this a later

[09:00] But we will teach people how to use your stream

[09:05] A bonus for businesses

[09:07] We also do analog lines

[09:09] Somebody has the home line

[09:11] They cannot connect that

[09:15] See it he and boats

[09:17] So you guys have a favorite of a home

[09:19] Fiber

[09:21] Fibre

[09:23] What's her connection?

[09:25] Fibrer of the home

[09:27] Every home or business

[09:28] So we do our best not to overbuild or network

[09:32] Everything is on the wrong

[09:34] I always make jokes and go into communities

[09:36] They won't call you if their speed

[09:38] Is above they will called

[09:40] And so, like we take a private adventure

[09:44] Our next mistake

[09:47] You are going be 8 out of 9

[09:49] That's what we're at

[09:51] We've got special technology that allows

[09:53] As long as it works

[09:55] Right some people say

[09:57] Which could give me this case

[09:58] About 20 to 25 was considered acceptable

[10:03] Now it's 100% used

[10:05] So 8 gig technology is there

[10:07] More AI

[10:09] And more type of things come out

[10:11] People have that bandwidth

[10:14] They can't have them

[10:18] We get some people who are best and the best

[10:20] Some say, hey we will provide a piece

[10:25] Of my services

[10:27] If you're not tech savvy

[10:29] I really don t know

[10:30] If you have a staff on train

[10:32] That can actually remote it and fix the diagnosis

[10:34] You know, we add some that are very good

[10:40] So thats why they're choice to get huge

[10:45] Someone comes from the motor or rather

[10:47] Because its something I least

[10:49] But if he had an option

[10:52] To do so

[10:54] When our freedom package

[10:56] What this is about is that piece of mine

[10:59] Sirs like for your life

[11:00] You know, that's certain one comes

[11:03] So like basically the router

[11:05] They can unplug it and plug back in

[11:07] But when you come to actual troubleshooting

[11:09] It really kind of stops exactly

[11:11] That is what this is about

[11:13] There are no service charge for a set of technicians

[11:16] Out there get them fixed

[11:20] Thats included

[11:22] And thats an add-on

[11:24] Can we have your own router

[11:26] We had a presentation

[11:28] And it breaks down and writes

[11:31] What we call freedom by a bus

[11:33] You can see exactly what that is

[11:37] So they have the package

[11:39] There are no charge for trouble

[11:42] That's correct

[11:45] If you add your own motor

[11:47] Yes, give us 100% correct

[11:49] We understand any time

[11:51] People buy or underground

[11:53] As always there s just came to work out

[11:55] We can get that done

[11:57] And we try to make sure

[11:59] When you go into the house

[12:01] If everything is connected

[12:03] You have one of these old boardable type phones

[12:05] Then they will check in connection

[12:08] The each room

[12:10] If it doesn t need access point

[12:12] There s a lot technical things

[12:18] But people don't want them

[12:20] So, if there are a lot of connections

[12:23] We have those products

[12:27] One thing that s important to mention on the subject

[12:30] A trouble shooting too is

[12:32] All of our troubleshooting all

[12:35] Of ours support in this house

[12:37] When you call when we talk about somebody from

[12:39] And contract out support calls

[12:42] So even if it's something basic and minor

[12:44] Unplugging a plug-in

[12:47] What does your design look like

[12:51] From an infrastructure perspective

[12:53] For example, fiber is pretty notorious for

[12:56] If this guy digs a hole in his jar

[12:58] And cuts the fiber line

[13:00] Then it would exist with your design

[13:04] I have that basically seen

[13:07] That job

[13:09] Haven t seeing them full of designs

[13:11] But i don't think so

[13:14] Basically everything has broken down

[13:18] If somebody hits the main backbone

[13:21] Sure

[13:23] And excavating machine or something

[13:27] But if someone is out digging in their yard

[13:29] It s fiber line that has been going to

[13:31] Or house, it may be a bit of a day

[13:34] Maybe this specific pedestal

[13:36] That he talked about my view of these few three months

[13:39] More on that one

[13:41] I think i was looking at doing lot

[13:44] Overhead

[13:46] The design we turned into

[13:47] And there may be a few instances depending on

[13:51] Once we get a conversation going and find out

[13:54] If you guys have services that are just jam packed into this area

[13:59] Or when they're in the car, cross-shoe across

[14:02] For if it makes more sense

[14:05] We can work with city on full attachment agreement to go

[14:08] At whatever case maybe

[14:09] And we've seen that for some cities like

[14:13] We prefer you be on poles

[14:15] Because of this, you know, infrastructure

[14:18] It might not happen whatever

[14:20] That helps people to make up

[14:22] Also

[14:31] You say maybe it's a waste storm

[14:37] They just kind

[14:39] Of course I believe in this

[14:42] This is an underground design building

[14:47] Some of them have a lot of ideas

[14:48] And it's typically the process now

[14:52] The one that we did in a van

[14:55] We went down and out of nowhere

[14:57] But what else?

[14:59] You basically sight everything

[15:01] That is there because anybody who works at utilities knows

[15:04] I don't care how good your tracer wire

[15:07] Is, then you are going to get all this stuff

[15:09] So

[15:12] If people have inspectors go up

[15:14] Once they're done

[15:16] People will be called

[15:20] We have a really high standard for our contractors

[15:24] If you talk to shell in up there and back your springs

[15:27] I'm not going say here until they were an issue

[15:29] It was another ground build with one of his things

[15:33] That said, Shell just today when i

[15:35] Was talking about how Roman the contractor supervisor

[15:38] And that feeling like man this guy's been excellent work

[15:41] But we had phone call from residents saying hey

[15:44] They came through last week

[15:45] I don't have a straw and see down in my art

[15:49] He calls Roman the building goes out there to take care of his problem

[15:52] One thing we ask especially as construction begins

[15:55] It's not just communicating with contractor but let us know

[15:59] That what is going on because

[16:01] There can be times where you are like well, we're dealing directly

[16:04] With them they might not necessarily

[16:06] We got an idea that would apply

[16:11] To get some water and then go up

[16:14] But we understand that's a trick of the lines and things

[16:18] We've got work for small towns

[16:21] There are things like that

[16:23] So there is concern

[16:32] During this construction meeting, they have contractor

[16:35] Feel supervisor he will be on ground

[16:37] Our project might basically go to myself

[16:43] Between that contractor supervisor

[16:45] He was first contact

[16:47] You should make an issue right now

[16:48] Not tomorrow next week we get to

[16:54] He's unavailable or something is not done

[16:57] That satisfaction through him then you'll talk

[16:59] Project manager will ensure that

[17:06] So I'd be in layers of it

[17:22] Thank God he can join us. Appreciate

[17:28] Number six, coin list

[17:30] Second

[17:33] Two times for the parker

[17:37] Item B, coin lists from bands auto group

[17:40] Single

[18:11] There you get some of that

[18:17] On this storm water staff report

[18:18] We'll just leave these out

[18:23] And we're so busy for us to read

[18:26] Yeah, it's a new

[18:31] What would you say New granicus software and

[18:33] It plays that out

[18:35] So

[18:37] So the population control

[19:26] So pollution control, the South American

[19:28] Pollution Control is like sewer

[19:31] The tanker system so it

[19:33] It's a total of the water

[19:35] Yeah

[19:37] My brain was focused on

[19:39] That one

[19:44] It told her now

[19:50] But i don't know what to do

[19:55] You're still in Florida

[19:58] I don't know what to do

[20:01] So we're going

[20:03] To talk about the water

[20:06] I think it was posted online

[20:08] But there is a Water issue on

[20:10] The corn here

[20:12] Like, you just come out of that road

[20:15] There's also one on Bay Street

[20:17] Which side

[20:19] Of the place

[20:22] And then i went all along

[20:24] And i saw it and was like

[20:27] That's actively coming out
