Bits, The New Infrastructure Must address the cause not the
symptoms Bits decouple services from the
transport Bits are an alphabet with no value in
themselves Value is External New funding
model Infrastructure is a proven model
Roads (The road system is an emergent property)
Home Infrastructure Community Infrastructure

We Contribute Infrastructure

From Tenants to Owners
With Home After 1995Broadband, Cellular, PSTN
No Fees, Ownership Zero marginal cost Can use bits any way Peripherals and
innovation Extend to community Local Infrastructure
Monthly Fee per Device
Never pay off finance fee
Dictate meaning of bits
Apps Unbilled bits are dead
bits

Transition Happens
Container Shipping Goods to packets.
Private pikes to public roads Business community to community
funding Advertising
Supports services that aren’t profit centers
USPS stamps on UPS boxes till 1970’s

Stuck in 19th century?
Single distribution system for electricity. Bits aren’t consumables with intrinsic value. Distribution system, not sharing. % as “bits” How is this model sustainable in a real
market? No wonder DSL is in violation of Moore’s law!

The network needn’t know which passengers are part of a team.

Using Infrastructure
Edge-to-Edge forced the issue VoIP without QoS Decoupling markets Hypergrowth Use of consumer infrastructure
(home) Access Connectivity!
Local is exciting and 100% “Internet”
One “Internet” inside & outside
![Page 9: Connectivity in the Digital Age Bob Frankston](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032723/56649d0e5503460f949e3613/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Doing Our Own Infrastructure Marked-based native funding model Extends home and campus
infrastructure Commons like roads and sidewalks Reduced costs by avoiding limits of
pipes Stable funding model with aligned
incentives Transformational, zero marginal cost:
Creates opportunity Medical services, public safety, cost
savings

Making a Fresh Start
Regulation to Markets Native funding for each service 9-1-1 direct connectivity Voice is an app Trust is social not a service Services are local and global
![Page 11: Connectivity in the Digital Age Bob Frankston](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032723/56649d0e5503460f949e3613/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

Transition
The PSTN retirement is a symptom Shifting the business model
Analog: Service providers own infrastructure
Digital: Bits enable a common infrastructure
Stable market-based model Infrastructure own locally and regionally Services are diverse and funded natively
From Regulation to Markets
![Page 13: Connectivity in the Digital Age Bob Frankston](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032723/56649d0e5503460f949e3613/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Overview
From burden of the “PSTN” to Connectivity Services using the network not in the
network No network services new funding
model for net Layers to Decoupling (bits,
relationships) Infrastructure is geographically local
Just exchange bits, services are external Funded like roads Needs very little regulation Infrastructure is an enabler.

After the PSTN
PSTN: Provides burdened paying for ”wires”
Connectivity decouples: How we get services How we pay for the “wires”
Use native business models Neighbors work together for
infrastructure Any provider can provide services 9-1-1 et al without legacy of the 1950’s
![Page 15: Connectivity in the Digital Age Bob Frankston](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032723/56649d0e5503460f949e3613/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Conclusion
New paradigms, not virtual PSTN Generativity of BOYI (Infrastructure) Regulation Markets
Local ownership of infrastructure Global availability of services
Transitions Private Pikes to Public Roads Opportunities rather than promises

The Concept of the PSTN
Telegram as design point
Intelligence in Network SS7
Services are provided Providers cover costs Sell services/messages
Path is a Pipe (Naïve) Trust as a
service

Understanding bits
The alphabet for information The universal solvent Are not consumed

Bits, not “Internet”
Used as basic infrastructure Meta Devices Policies for lights Safety Monitoring and Compliance Local video
Not about Access Peer connectivity Not tied to a path
![Page 21: Connectivity in the Digital Age Bob Frankston](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032723/56649d0e5503460f949e3613/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
It’s about Business
Classic Telecom Value is in the network Funded by selling service
Digital World Value is external Value created doesn’t fund the network Divestiture
![Page 22: Connectivity in the Digital Age Bob Frankston](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032723/56649d0e5503460f949e3613/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
From Regulation to Markets Markets can now provide
“telephony” Decoupling vs. lock-step engineering Escape QoS et al Playing out divestiture and bits from
the 70’s From “Trust Ma Bell” to “Trust is
Social” Enabling Hypergrowth
![Page 23: Connectivity in the Digital Age Bob Frankston](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032723/56649d0e5503460f949e3613/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Bits Change the Rules
No “wired” vs. “wireless” Not Consumed Inverse relationship between value and
quantity Services decoupled from bit-exchanging
Skype Over-the-Top Cellular over IP
Path independent Tethering Wi-Fi offloading

Decouples Business Models
Services Charge for value Level playing field Over all networks, not just one’s own
Physical infrastructure Funding by taxing externalities Removes cost/complexity of
billing/settlement “Broadband” all same so why till?
![Page 26: Connectivity in the Digital Age Bob Frankston](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032723/56649d0e5503460f949e3613/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Why the PSTN?
Funding model, provider model Phone numbers Universal Service Emergency Services (911) Municipal info (311) Authentication and Caller-ID Billing QoS

Bugaboos
Networks Providers Lesson of search DNS Single Bar Trust and Zombies Ahead No Single Hop Funding like putting stamps on UPS boxes DSL vs. Line cards SS7 Congestion and Limits

Infrastructure Funding
Avoids needing elements to be profit center
Like advertising liberates Google Aligned Incentives vs. Regulation Good Stuff Cheap

Free “Wi-Fi”
Public use Emergency use Bits are bits

Networking Start at Home
Connecting devices in the home & campus DLNA Light Switches Intranets [sic] Municipal services
Once we have connectivity Use for “offload”
