reporting, (3) misappropriation of assets, or (d) violations of laws or govern rental
regulations that. are altributable to the entity or to acts by management or employees acting on
behalf of the entity. Because the determination of abuse is subjective, Government Anditi.n ,
Standards do not. expect auditors to provide reasonable assurance on detecting abuse.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: November 15, 2005
TO: City Council
FROM: Mike Monrson, City .Manager
Roger Larson, Finance Director
ITEM: NEXTEL WESI' C'OR]3--'rE],RC`OMMIINICA'I'IONS LEASE
Nextel West Corporation desires to install a telecommunications facility at the City's
watcr, tower. Based on direction from the City Council and negotiations with Nextel, an
agreement of the terms of the lease has been reached.
In the City's initial proposal.staff asked to)- a starting monthly rate of $1,400.00 per
month, plus a 4% escalator or the CTI, whichever is greater. Nextel rejected the CPI
language and wanted to agree to the 4% escalator.
Staff countered with dropping the CPI language and added a starting monthly rate of
$1,d58 per month ($17,500 annual), plus a 5% escalator. Nextel countered by offering a
higher starting rate with a 4% escalator.
After calculation of the numbers to achieve the same bottom line number as a 5%
escalator, the starting monthly rate agreed to is $1,650.00 per month ($19,800 annual)
with a 4% escalator.
The highlights of the agreement include the following proposed conditions and terms:
® Initial Term of the Lease 5 Years.
® Renewal Terms Five 5 -year renewal options.
• Proposed Rent $1,650.00 per month ($19,800 Annual).
® Term Escalator 4% per year of the pervious year's rent.
The communications facility will require no City improvements and the cost of all
utilities, phone lines, necessary improvements and planning and zoning expenses will be
paid for by Nextel West Corp.
The lease of the facility to Nextel will provide a source of rental income to the General
Operating Fund at a higher monthly rental rate than Sprint Spectrum is paying ($1,456.00
monthly, $17,472 annual).
M
In addition, to the benefit of enhanced revenue, the new facility will improve wireless and
emergency communication services.
Another added benefit is that the antennas are taxed as personal property and this lease
will generate $d,514.40 in property taxes. The taxable value and calculation is based on
the amount of the annual lease. The following example is based on collectible 2005
taxes:
Annual Lease $ 19,800
X Gross Rent Multiplier _ X 8
158,400
X Tax Rate for Preferred Property .0285
$4,514.40
The City Attorney has reviewed the proposed lease and the attached agreement includes
language and changes recommended by Dorsey & Whitney.
Recommendation:
Council to direct staff to enter into an agreement with Nextel West Corporation under the
terms and conditions as set forth in lease agreement.

Subject: Wireless Internet Connectivity Feasibility Study
Regrcested Action: Consider adopting Resolution 05-091 to provide for a feasibility study to
assess the City's connectivity needs for a wireless Internet system citywide.
t34ckgronnd_ At a worksession on June 2, 2005 City Staff presented information to the City
Council on wireless Internet (Wi Fi). Council had indicated an interest in this technology because
several areas in the Community are not currently being serviced with Broadband Internet,
including one City department:. As a result of the information presented at this worksession, the
City Councilasked that Cheryl Johnson and Tom Asp, representatives from. Vichow/I rause be
invited to do a presentation before the City Council.
At a worksession in August, Ms. Johnson and Mr. Asp provided information about wireless
systems and discussed specific connectivity issues that the City would need to consider before
installing a Wi Fi system. Staff presented an update to the wireless Internet at the November 1st
worskession and was directed to contact Virchow/Krause to invite thorn to submit a formal. RFP
for conducting a feasibility study.
In contacting Ms. Johnson, Staff was informed that she and Mr. Asp are no longer associated with
Virchow/Krause. Apparently Virchow/Krause decided to remain strictly a financial consultant
and sold their telecommunications division to Columbia Telecommunications Corporation, which
does specialize in felecormnunications engineering and analysis. Ms. Johnson and Mr. Asp are
retained by Columbia 'Telecommunications as two of: their principle analysts and will be heading
up the team performing the proposed feasibility study for the City of St. Anthony.
On November 16, 2005 Staff received an updated proposal of: total fees and expenses at $14,500 for
the Scope of Services as itemized in the proposal, with a completion date of March 2006.
Included with this Staff Report is a copy of the proposal as submitted by Ms. Johnson and Mr. Asp.

Sxint Anthony Village, 1viIN 55418-1699
Dear Ms. Moorc-Sykes:
Pursuant to your conversations and meetings with Tom Asp and Cheryl Johnson, we are pleased to present this
proposal for a Wireless Connectivity Feasibility Study for Saint Anthony Village. Tom and Cheryl have recently
Joined Columbia Telecommunications Corporation (CTC) after several successful years with Virchow Krause. CTC
is a public interest communications engineering and analysis company. We are committed to helping local
govermnents and utilities to tame technologies and maximize its benefits for the public interest. Our experienced
project team -members bring you years of relevant
experience, and our independence from vendors and carriers
ensures recommendations are driven by Saint Anthony
Village's interests and needs — not construction contracts or
vendor royalties.
Understanding of Needs
The Internet has changed all our lives:
• The way we teach,
• The way we learn,
• The way we conduct business, and
• The way we communicate.
The change of transformation is not over; it has just begun.
The Internet is a necessity, not a luxury. The Internet enables
services to become applications. Our approach to reviewing
the feasibility will explore:
• Gnhancing economic vitality;
• Promoting improved connectivity service to businesses
and residences;
• Understanding the connectivity needs of constituents and
working to meet those needs.
With the help of our project team, Moorhead
Public Service (MPS) in Moorhead, MN has
deployed a city-wide Wi-Fi network.
After deploying fiber optics in the community,
MPS examined whether offering an essential
high-speed wireless Internet service would
benefit the community and allow for return on
investment, Now MPS is moving forward with a
wireless Internet offering that will serve
residents, college students, and businesses in the
community.
Bill Schwandt, MPS's General Manager, is
willing to share his experiences with you of
working with Tom Asp and our team members.
Bill's telephone number is 218.299.5404.

To accomplish the above we will:
• Review appropriate wireless technologies;
® Outline potential applications;
m Develop estimated project costs;
m Review existing broadband services;
o Devclop a preliminary cost -benefit analysis and required subscriber participation;
o Develop recommendations and considerations.
Our project loam is familiar with the issues that Saint Anthony Village faces and experienced in assisting
cornnunitics to review connectivity and service options. White previously with Virchow Krause, our project team
members assisted clients (such as Moorhead Public Service in Moorhead, Minnesota; the City of Sturgis, Michigan;
and the City of St. Louis Park, Minnesota) who similarly wanted to advance availability of competition and
telecommunications services in their community. We encourage you to contact the references we have provided and
to have these other local governments share their experiences will) you. We also encourage you to visit
www.gonioloillvad.com to see the exciting new wireless Internet offering in Moorhead.
Our project team has been involved in the planning and teaching of a number of seminars and conferences across the
eounay on wireless, fiber, and other technologies that are of importance to local government We are always happy
to share our knowledge and expertise.
Our Tmala lots Experience Working with Municipalities
Our team is a powerful combination of' market assessment experience,
technological expertise, and financial sophistication. The project train members
have served similar municipalities in various capacities over the years; therefore,
our firm has insights to offer Saint Anthony Village that other vendors do not
have. In addition to this experience, our team consists of experts in voice, data,
fiber optics, wireless, engineering, and technology planning. We will work
carefully, but quickly, to get this project completed to meet your schedule.
o Independence —We can give you the highest Level of confidence that
CTC )maintains professional standards. You can be confident that our
methods and practices uphold 011e highest ethical standards and ensure
complete independence.
Commitment and Company Strength — CTC and our project tram
members maintain a solid reputation for providing high quality,
consulting services to the public sector. CTC works exclusively for
public sector and nonprofit clients.
Understanding the unique
characteristics of Saint Anthony
Village is critical. For example,
there are approximately 3,700
households in a 6.1 square
kilometer area. In comparison to
other communities pursuing
wireless Internet, Moorhead has
11,600 households in 35 square
kilometers, and St. Louis Park has
20,700 households in 28 square
kilometers. 'These demographic
differences will decrease the cost
(engineering and implementation)
of a wireless network; however, it
may increase the required market
share to maintain positive cash
flow.
® Technology Understanding — Our experience and background in networks, public safety, and utilities
will ensure that Saint Anthony Village will be able to review technology solutions that will meet its
objectives now and in the future and not a preconceived solution. In other words, we are able to assist in
determining what technology will meet the objectives today and in the future. In addition, since we do not
sell equipment or offer construction services, we are able to provide unbiased, independent assessments of
technology and the vendors.

2. Gstirraate N1ar•lrel Poterttiat
Prom our market research experience in the area, we will estimate:
m What types of telecommunications and broadband service do residential customers currently use?
And for what types of services, systems, programs etc.`?
® What do they see as the limitations of their current situation?
• What additional capabilities are they currently interested in adding? In order to do what'? For
example, is their goal faster data transfer, more in-depth data transfer, etc.
® What are their expectations for their current and future high-speed needs and how well does the
current provider meet those needs (Gap analysis),
n How aware are respondents of current high-speed options?
® Considering fume needs, which of the products and services do the customers have plans to add
in the next year or two?
.?. Perforin a Carnpetitive dssessneent
We will document the accessibility, type, capacity, and use of advanced connectivity services in Saint
Anthony Village.
® Develop list of current providers including generic coverage areas and costs for services provided.
® Determine location, condition and type of current infrastructure access points.
o Identify providers of telecommunication used by the residential and small business markets
(phone, video, and Internet access).
® Identify the local offerings of the existing CATV, Internet, and telephone providers. Review the
pricing of current service offerings.

4. CmxlrectConceptaalNebvorBDesignrrr:dCastirzgReview
We will look at a variety of wireless solutions (Wi-Fi, WiMAX, Phased Array, BRS, MBS, and MMDS)
and the uadcoffs of cost and performance. In addition, the network models can be applied to the business
case to assist in determining which approach best serves the needs of Saint Anthony Village in the long-
tens. This allows Saint Anthony Village to make an informed decision on what network to pursue.
A review of advantages and disadvantages of the technologies will be provided in this step. In particular,
we will investigate the ability of the networks to support emergency communication. Hr addition, we will
provide an estimate of the number of nodes required to provide full coverage in Saint Anthouy Village. We
will also provide backhaul requirements based on both wireless and fiber transport and the topology of
Saint Anthony Village. The results of this step will provide a conceptual high -Level design and projected
implementation costs for the involvement models identified. This conceptual design will include
installation requirements and costs.
5. Assess Operation Issues
We will review operational and other costs associated with the project that can directly impact the
feasibility of the project including:
• Staffing levels, associated benefits and salaries
• Billing issues including development and interface with existing systems
• Network management based on type of network
• Legal and consulting fees
• Business initiation costs
• Franchise expenses
• Network maintenance and insurance
• Pole attachment and/or Right of Way access and fees
• Make ready costs
• Marketing
• Office expenses
• Facility expenses (lease vs. purchase)
These issues will be discussed in the report and quantified in the cost/benefit analysis.
6. Provide Insights on Mnancing Options
It may be possible and essential for Saint Anthony Village to receive a grant to help assist in the costs of
establishing an advanced communications business. We will provide an overview of potential grant sources
including:
• State and Federal advanced communication initiative grants
• Corporate and foundation grants
® Home Security project grants
• Education grants (FCC's c -rate, etc.)
® Other
In addition, how Saint Anthony Village obtains authorization to entor the business will impact the various
financing alternatives.
In addition, we will present a range of financing options and their impact to the business model.
® Revenue Bonds
m Revenue Bond/Letter of Credit
e General Obligation Bonds
m Special Condition Loans
Vendor Financing
Equity Partners
m Other
Grants typically require filing in the 4th or I st quarler of each year.
Z Outline Potetitial Partnership (Alliance) Oppor(tezzities
Alliances will be sought that may foster the development of connectivity services and improve the overall
benefits, citable new business models, and encourage stakeholder alternatives.
We will review the advantages and disadvantages of various forms of partnering, how it could be done,
with whom it might be done with (names of potential partners if available) and estimated costs and
expectations of both parties in a partnership mode. These relationships can lower the cost of constructing
the infrastructure and offer expertise that can assist Saint Anthony Village in meeting its goals and
objectives. Potential alliances include Competitive Local Exchange Carriers (CLI:C's), Internet Service
Providers, and municipalities.
8. Outline Business Models and Develop Cost Benefits Analysis
From the results of the previous steps, we will provide insights and recommendations on the appropriate
business models to address the identified needs.
Potential business models may include:
a Internal Services Network which supports public safety and other needs
® Retail business which includes staff Help Desk and ISP Ilosting
® Modified Retail which has minimum staff and outsources Ilelp Desk and ISP Hosting
® Open Access Network (allows multiple providers to deliver services over the infrashructtne)
® hybrid Open Access Network — Selected business "partners" are sought to deliver retail services
over the infrastructure
® Encourage private providers to offer lower cost service through select infrastructures
Included is a review of any opportunities for partnerships with both end users and service providers. Our
recommendation of approaches will be based upon a balance of the identified opportunities and risks,
economic developed benefits and the likelihood of success.
We will prepare a cost/benefit analysis, which will include pricing and market penetration assumptions for
broadband Internet, specialty services, and other identified markets. Our cost/benefit analysis will also
provide working capital projections.
In addition to providing cost/benefit analysis for individual service offerings, the model will include an
overall analysis for viable potential services detailed in this proposal and identified in the market potential
assessment.
The financial analysis will leverage the results of the market research and provide:
- Sensitivities of Ivey assumptions including, but not limited to:
I - Market penetration
-I. pricing
+ Ticred revenue suuctmes
+ Operating fees
+ System construction
+ Staffing levels
- Base, best, and worst case analysis.
The cost/benefit analysis will follow accounting standards and will not rely on cross -subsidization or off
balance sheet debt to skew results.
The analysis will also provide schedules that detail
n Operating income and cash flow
• Not present value analysis
o Subscriber revenue by service
• Subscriberrevenue bycustomm/customer class
o Debt service analysis
n Reserve find requirements
m Uses and sources of finds
® Operating expenses
® Operational savings
® Depreciation summary
® Projected construction costs summary for network, hardware, buildings and other equipment
s Return on investment (ROI)
Additional appendices for each service will further analyze the costs and revenues associated with the
project.
One of the most critical components of a financial analysis is to determine the impact that varying
assumptions will have on the project. We will perform a sensitivity analysis of the factors used in the
cosUbenefit analysis. The sensitivity and breakeven analysis will assist Saint Anthony Village in assessing
the downside risks of the project. For example, if the analysis assumed a 35% market penetration for
htternet, what would occur if the penetration were reduced to 25%? What happens if Internet pricing is
reduced 10%? 20%?

9. Provide a Schedule of Activities & Tasks
We will discuss the preliminary steps that will be necessary to initiate the recommendations.
X0. Develop Report tail Recornneendatians
Our recommendations will include:
® What is needed?
• What is doable?
a What is practical?
• What alliances would enhance community objectives?
o I -low public private "partnerships" might asset the community.
We will provide Saint Anthony Village with one (1) written copy and one (1) electronic copy in .pdf format
on CD of the draft written report documenting all of our findings and recommendations including an
executive summary. Once the draft report has beeil reviewed and approved by management, Saint Anthony
Village will be provided Willi one (1) hard copy of the final report and up to ten (10) electronic copies in
.pdf format on CD.
We will also conduct an iu-person presentation of our final findings and recommendations in summary
form.
Optional Services
Conduct Market Research
Our research program will produce important insights for Saint Anthony Village with regard to the
region's connectivity environment, including, but not limited to:
o What types of connectivity and broadband service do residences, business and public sector
customers currently use? And for what ,types of services, systems, programs Cie.?
a What do they see as the limitations of their current situation?
a What additional capabilities are they currently interested in adding,? In order to do what? For
example, is their goal faster data transfer, more in-depth data transfer, etc.
® What are their expectations for their current and future high-speed needs and how well does the
current provider meet those needs (Gap analysis).
® How aware are respondents of current high-speed options?
a Considering future needs, which of the products and services do the customers have plans to add
in the next year or two?
® Considering future needs, how likely would respondents be to purchase communications services
from new providers if they were available? Support and wholesale infrastructure utility?
® With demographic and some psychographic questions answered for the various populations —
residential, business and public sector— an in-depth analysis will be possible.
Methodology
Data collection methodology for this market study will include a random sample telephone survey of
the approximately 3,700 residential households (goal of obtaining 300 completes) and a written survey
to all of the approximately 75 business decision makers in Saint Anthony Village. The residential
interviews will be conducted by telephone and we estimate that they will be approximately 10-12
minutes in duration. The written business surveys will be direct mailed with a postage -paid return
MI
envelope enclosed to assist in obtaining a strong response. In addition we will also conduct personal
interviews (up to ten) of key decision makers in Saint Anthony Village.
Survey Instruments
We will develop both survey instruments in collaboration with the key staffof Saint Anthony Village.
The surveys will be scrutinized lot objectivity and for their ability to gain answers to all questions at
hand. After the surveys are approved, we will move to field-testing.
Data Collection
Telephone interviews will be the data collection method for the residential study. Trained interviewers
in a supervised setting using a computer-assisted telephone -interviewing program will conduct all
interviews.
The written surveys for the businesses will be tabulated upon their return by mail.
Interview Selected Users
We will conduct personal interviews with up to ten (lo) r'e'presentatives from the village departments,
school districts, medical, and other institutional users in Saint Anthony Village. These users may have
significant unroof needs; therefore, determining their requirements is important. Given this, it is not
recommended to solely rely on it survey, or to solely rely ou interviews to estimate the market
potential. Data gathered in this stage can be further leveraged at it later time for marketing purposes.
Results will yield qualitative data.
Analysis of Data
Upon completion of the data collection processes, we will conduct a thorough analysis of all data and
create an in depth report of findings, conclusions and recommendations for application of the findings.
Our general analysis will focus on discerning patterns and trends. In addition, we will individually
examine any subgroups of interest (e.g, demographics) to illuminate areas of similarities and
differences. Statistical tests appropriate to the research questions and format of data will be used to
identify significant relationships between variables and significant differences between subgroups. We
will also code and tabulate any open-ended responses.
Reporting Research Results
We will synthesize all studies to yield the findings, present conclusions and make recommendations
for fixture courses of action relating to current and future demand for telecommunications and
broadband services in this market area. We will prepare it complete client package for every study
conducted that includes findings, condensed conclusions, and a fill set of recommendations for a wide
range of management, marketing and communications strategies.
We find it can be helpful to make both preliminary and final presentations of findings, in case
additional questions arise from the initial meeting that can be explored through alternative forms of
analysis. In addition, we will be available for consultation and an insight after each study is completed.
m
The total fees and expenses is $14,500 for the Scope of Services proposed. The
optionat Market Research will increase the total project investment by $11,000.
a]
Given a November 22, 2005 acceptance date, with a probable project start in
January 2006, we are prepared to complete th¢ study by the end of March, 2006.
A. RELATED EXPERIENCE
Our project team members have experience in assisting cities like Saint Anthony Village in analyzing and
reviewing the existing telecommunications and connectivity landscape in their community, as well as the
development of business models that meet identified needs and demands. Upon completion of the proposed
Study, Saint Anthony Village will know which telecommunication services residents and businesses desire,
what cost they are willing to pay, and what technologies are appropiiatc. Some examples of commmnitics
where our project team members have performed similar projects while previously with Virchow Kiausc
include:
Moorhead Public Service (MPS) in Moorhead, MN was interested in exploring whether offering
broadband services was a viable option. After completing a thorough study in 2002, we
recommended that MPS should not pursue offering broadband services at that time. In the
meantime, the technology available and the costs have changed. Project team members conducted
another study in 2004 in which we researched the marketplace and developed a business plan.
MPS is now beginning an offering of wireless high-speed Internet access to residents, college
students, and businesses in the community. Moorhead has learned from and improved upon the
experiences of communuies tike Chaska, MN and Corpus Christi, TX in offering wireless Internet
access.
® St. Louis Park, MN is investigating the. possibility of deploying a city-wide Wrhi network. The
study, just Completed, investigated several business models to advance the availability and
affordability of Internet connectivity.
® Our team members have also assisted the Pulaski Llectric System in Pulaski, 'IN in developing a
fiber -to -the -premises (hITP) business plan that includes the preparation of business models, cost
analysis, and probabilistic outcome analysis. In addition, the team members previously conducted
residential mtuket research to assess the interest in Internet, cable TV, and telephone services in
Pulaski.
® The members of our team assisted the City of Sturgis Flecuic Department in Sturgis, MI with a
broadband wireless business plan. The team analyzed the possibility of the City of Sturgis
developing, constructing, providing, and selling wireless broadband services (retail or wholesale)
to businesses and residents. In addition, our team members previously conducted a market analysis
for the need for high-speed Internet and data connectivity for businesses located in Sturgis.
o The team members also assisted North Aurora, 11. with a commercial broadband feasibility study.
This study provides an analysis of current telecommunications issues and opportunities in and
around the community, and develops recommendations and strategies designed to advance
available connectivity options.
Our team members have been asked by Public Technology Institute (PTI) to assist the organization in
educating cities, counties, and other local government entities on wireless technology and wireless business
planning. PTI serves as the technology advisor to the National League of Cities, National Association of
Counties, the US Conference of Mayos, and other major government associations. Our team has been
involved in the planning and teaching of a number of seminars and conferences across the county on
wireless and other technologies that are of importance to Local government. We are always happy to share
our knowledge and expertise.

CTC has served the public sector and the, public inlcrest for oven 22 }ears. CTC provides communications
engineering and public analysis consulting services for public sector and non -proiil Ghouls throughout the
United States,
Since 1953, we have provided wide-ranging communications engineering and consulting services for
hundreds of ctients around tine country.
All CTC Principal Engineers hold a professional engilreering license. Our

�� �..�. ��
All engineering work is performed by or under the direction of licensed
company, y, Professional Engineers.
minority business CTC has incomparable experience with engineering issues regarding broadband
enterprise status in availability and open access broadband systems to serve the public interest.
Since the open access issue first came to (lie fore in the 1990s, CTC has served
numerous states, as the premiere engineering firm advising the public interest community and
local governments regarding the engineering issues of broadband open access --
and the ways in which closed systems call be used by industry to manipulate and
monitor user transmissions. In the past five years, CTC has advised the
communities of Los Angeles, Montgomery County, MD, and Arlington County,
VA regarding engineering means by which open access can be achieved over
broadband cable. We advised the City of Philadelphia regarding the technical
capability of other technologies to compete with cable broadband.
Our engineers conceived, negotiated, and designed a "separate channels" open access solution for
Arlington County's Institutional Network ---a truly open access environment in which the cable company
cannot manipulate or monitor. We then oversaw implementation of that network, which is currently used
to address digital divide issues by granting access to County school students whose eligibility is determined
by school -lunch program participation.
In addition, CTC has for a number of years advised a range of public interest groups regarding the
engineering issues inherent in open access implementation, including, most recently, by writing a report for
the Center for Internet and Society at Stanford Law School and the ACLU that served as the technical basis
10
m
for those parties' amicus brief to the US Supreme Count in the Brand X broadband case. In addition, that
report addressed the means by which telecom/cable indushy use of proprietary (rather than standards-
based) technologies reduce technical competition by preventing competing manufacturers and service
providers from nucroperating with broadband networks.
In the areas of network planning and design, CTC works with the frill range of existing and emerging
technologies. We hold incomparable expertise in supporting local governments to develop broadband
communications networks using wireless, fiber optics, and other technologies. From New York to Santa
Monica, we have planned, designed, negotiated, and implemented sophisticated telecommunications
projects that control expenses and minimize disruption.
CTC has planned telecommunications networks using a multitude of transmission technologies and
architectures. We have created wireless plans, designed wireless networks, and engincered/implemented
pilot projects. We have developed fiber optic master plans, including fiber routing and specifications. We
have planned both LANs and WANs to provide integrated voice, video and data capabilities for educational
institutions, state and local governments, and non-profit institutions. We have also provided technical
support in the design, development, and construction of these networks. We have conducted detailed user
requirement analysis interviews and cost modeling, specification of system components, system
certification, and performance uuodeling, among other tasks.
Included in this practice is a group of professionals that provide consulting services to municipal utilities of
all types throughout the nation. The specialized focus of this practice gives our staff the understanding of
the issues your of galmstion faces and gives them the experience to find effective solutions.
Services that our team members provide to our clients include
® Advanced communication business plans and feasibility studies
a Market research
® Community needs assessments
e Cable television franchising support services
® Assessing Automatic Meter Reading System needs and benefits

Our team maintains complete independence in our evaluations, analysis, and reporting. This assures
our evaluation will be fair, objective, and intended to serve the best interest of your organization and the
taxpayers in your community.
CTC chooses not to offer construction services, nor do we endorse equipment and network vendors.
This is a critical component that separates as from other firms and will assure management that we will
identify all pertinent issues involved in this venture.
You can be confident that our methods and practices uphold the highest ethical standards and ensure
