Benefits to partners (continued)
Fiber-to-the-Home Council released results Thursday, Sept 18th, of a study conducted to measure the impact of widely available gigabit broadband
service on GDP in the communities where it's deployed.
This is the first study of its kind in the U.S. that can quantify the "gigabit boost" similar to the "broadband bonus" seen in the early 2000s. The
results are pretty interesting:• 1.1% boost in GDP for the communities with widely available gigabit service;
• The 14 communities studied enjoyed $1.4 billion in additional GDP when gigabit service became widely available; and
• The 41 communities studied without gigabit availability experienced forgone GDP of around $3.3 billion in 2013.

Interviews 101• Know the facts/prepare for questions.• Articulate key messages.• Example: Our community is a great place to work and live. Our
partnership with the GVTC GigaRegion™ shows we are a progressive community focused on technology and pro-growth.
• Try to find out the questions to be asked ahead of the interview.• Be transparent. If a reporter can find the information through an open
records request, highly consider providing the information up front.• Avoid, “no comment,” even if you can’t comment. If it is proprietary
information, just tell the reporter you cannot reveal that information.
![Page 35: GVTC GigaRegion Marketing Assets and Guidelines](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062514/557d4caad8b42ae71a8b4d61/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Communications / Media Guidelines:
Interviews 101• If you don’t know the answer to a question, tell the reporter you will find
out and get back with them soon.• Know that you are always “on the record” when talking to a reporter. • “Off the record” comments are fair game.• Speak in such a way that you can easily be quoted by a reporter• Use facts and figures to emphasize your main points• Answer the question and stop talking. Let the reporter
follow up with questions. • Small talk to fill-in dead air can lead to unwanted quotes.

Trademarks: Trademarks identify a product, service, person, or thing from others in the same field. In a competitive business environment, a trademarked brand can mean the difference between being recognized as a leader in strategic
innovation and just one of the pack. It is important to note that the GVTC GigaRegion™ is a registered trademark,
and as such the official trademark symbol of “™” should be used with the name each and every time it is used in print.
Hint: when typing the TM on a PC (in Microsoft Word or Outlook) you can type a ( + t + m + ) and when you add a space it’ll automatically
superscript into ™. You can also use the Insert/Symbols on both Mac and PC.

• Cross reference ads in book (file names are provided) and select the files with those names, titles “collected files”
• Note: you will not be able to open these files• Send those to the publication

so you can check to ensure:• Type, graphics and logos aren’t stretched or altered• Nothing missing---read the text!

Stylized Map Usage GuideThe following maps have been provided as an internal resource for the economic development arms of each community in the
region to assist them in identifying parcels of land that are available and easily accessible to fiber.
• The first shows the GVTC exchanges. • The second shows areas that are currently utilizing fiber optics.• The third is an overlay of both exchanges and fiber optics.
These maps are not intended to be used in marketing and/or promotions to businesses or the public but more as a tool for use when working with
interested parties.

presentations and marketing materials.
