  2. MNT Overview Guy Mellor MNT Program Manager State of Colorado

  3. Colorado’s Multi-Use Network • The Multi-Use Network (MNT) is a public/private partnership to build a high-speed fiber-optic network for the State of Colorado. • MNT allows the State to consolidate Colorado State government agency telecommunication requirements from its current multiple networks into a single network to reduce administrative and maintenance costs to taxpayers. • MNT leverages the development of telecommunications infrastructure while expanding the delivery of advanced services to all geographic regions of the state

  4. Colorado’s Multi-Use Network • MNT Vision: • MNT changes the model of telecommunications in Colorado. • Colorado’s MNT: • Bridges the Digital-Divide. • Increases economic development • Creates the backbone for e-government. • Changes the model for telecommunications pricing for all users, public and private. • Created by two Governors with bi-partisan, statewide legislature leadership

  5. Libraries Schools (K-12) Higher Education State Government Local Government Health Care MNT – 20 mb Reserved Bandwidth Colorado High Speed Digital Network Private-Sector Traffic MNT- Getting it Done Single Integrated Telecommunications Infrastructure Data Video Voice Lower cost
