151-1,(1906 k_.c,.s, /z&7/1( Answers to Steve Guzzetta's questions regarding Connect Anoka County, sent via email to Tom Haluska, Assistant Anoka County Attorney, on March 14, 2011. 1. Please describe how individual connectivity services agreements relate to Anoka County's August 17, 2010, Wholesale Master Service Agreement with ZAYO Broadband, LLC ("ZAYO'). For example, will local government parties to a connectivity services agreement be subject the acceptable use policy set forth in the Master Service Agreement. Anoka County is required by the MSA to secure the agreement of the various entities who own non - County co- location sites. The connectivity service agreements are pass through, so where the County is subject to provisions in the MSA for connectivity, those requirements are applicable to the Entities in the Connectivity Services Agreements. Those provisions have been incorporated directly into the language of the CSA. Regarding the example, the Acceptable Use Policy (section 18.3 of the MSA): 1) prohibits Anoka County from using the network for illegal purposes; 2) allows Zayo to remove materials such as child pornography and other objectionable materials from the network; and 3) provides that Zayo may co- operate with investigations into criminal activity. While sec. 18 provides additional terms and conditions applicable only to the purchase of IP /Data based services which would not be passed through to the entities, the CSA does require compliance with laws relating to the provision of services (Section XI). Trafficking in Internet Child Pornography is illegal, as is using the Internet for identity theft, and would be a breach of Section XI. It seemed superfluous to repeat the AUP provision in the CSA. 2. A. Please provide a detailed description of the "ZAYO System" that will be utilized to provide Connectivity Services to local government units pursuant to a connectivity services agreement, including the number of fibers, the types of fibers to be used, the types of optronics to be used, the network design and topology to be used, back -up and standby power capabilities, and the bandwidth /capacity limits of each portion or segment of the ZAYO System. B. What happens if certain entities do not participate in the project (so that specific anticipated co- location sites are not available)? C. How will that alter the ZAYO System design? A. See the IRU and MSA .
