3 1. Introduction Cape Cod is a unique area in Massachusetts and, for that matter, anywhere. As much as we appreciate the throwback to earlier times, the mom-and-pop stores, the clam shacks, kids playing on the beach, we are just as much part of the 21 st century as anyone else in this state or country. For residential broadband Internet services, we have but one company from which to access the Internet at high speeds, Comcast. Verizon s Fios service will not be available on Cape Cod due to 1) the lack of density of homes which makes the cost of installations much more expensive than in suburban and urban areas, 2) Verizon s objection to having to negotiate contracts with each of the 15 towns on Cape Cod, and 3) Verizon s stated company direction of moving into wireless services and away from wired services. This leaves us with a virtual monopoly with respect to residential broadband Internet services. DSL (digital subscriber line) is an alternative but the maximum speed tops out at about 7 Mb (megabits) per second. The engineering definition of broadband Internet is a system that provides a minimum of 25 Mb per second. In 2009, a group of enterprising citizens created a nonprofit corporation called OpenCape, which applied for and received grants of $32 million from the federal government, $5 million from the state, $1 million from Barnstable County, and $2 million from a for-profit corporation that was tapped to sell OpenCape s services. With this $40 million, OpenCape built a fiber-optic mid mile network on the Cape with connections to the World Wide Web in Providence and Boston. Your Cape delegation of state representatives and senators has been working to create an affordable way for residential properties to connect to OpenCape s system. Up to now, OpenCape has been primarily marketing its services to municipalities, the county, educational and research institutions, Joint Base Cape Cod, and commercial entities. Given that $38 million of the $40 million of seed money came from taxpayers, we believe that the same taxpayers should be able to access this state-of-the-art broadband service. 3
4 We have garnered significant public support for providing a competitive service to Comcast in Barnstable County for residential high-speed Internet. We also heard a common question among many of the people who would like to see such an alternative; that is: Is there any way that I can save money right now on what I pay for Internet, television, and telephone services? In fact, there are several options to saving money on your monthly entertainment and communications bill. That is the subject of this seminar and we hope that you are able to glean some suggestions that will put you on the road to paying less money while keeping the services you really want and need. If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact Randy through his legislative office. His aide, Katie Babbin, can be reached at Katelyn.babbin@mahouse.gov 4
5 Your Local Public, Education, and Government Stations! Government transparency Hyperlocal content Easy access to tools and knowledge Here in Massachusetts we have a strong local access tradition. That means your local community negotiated with Comcast and other providers. The companies pay a portion of revenues they generate from your town to support Government, Education and Public content creation and also set aside channels for distributing this local content. In exchange, the companies use taxpayer-owned rights of way and other assets to run their respective businesses. If you think about it, the trade makes sense it acknowledges the value in our publicly held assets while at the same time helping companies deliver their product to our communities. But the biggest benefit of all is that we have local channels reflecting our local communities! Your local Government station (either channel 18 or 15 in most Cape communities) brings critical transparency to local government activities. You can watch your select board, town committees and of course your annual meeting. Transparency in government brings more involvement and better management for us all! Your local Education station (either channel 22 or 14 in most Cape communities) shines light on what happens in our schools. From school committees to school sports to In the Classrooms it lets everyone see what schools are doing. It brings production tools to our students, too - inspiring and teaching our next generation how to both create and be wise consumers of information. Your local Public station (either channel 99 or 13 in most Cape communities) creates a place where the regional, local, and hyper-local thrives. If anyone in the community dreams it, they can create it here! The public station lets everyone access state of the art video equipment and instruction on how to use it there s no barriers in public access. Plus, they deliver hyper local content you can t find anywhere else. On top of that, through local PEG stations people have learned skills that helped their careers, helped their businesses, or helped them engage in the community. PEG stations employ people and create an economic footprint. They form a vital part of the local heartbeat. They intertwine with the local ecosystem. They help make local communities thrive. 5
6 2. Over-the-Air (OTA) What is OTA? With the purchase of a TV antenna, consumers have the ability to receive digital signals from their local broadcast TV stations for free. Consumers can choose between purchasing an indoor antenna and an outdoor antenna. Indoor antennas tend to have greater limitations in picking up signals, especially those transmitted from faraway distances, as is the case on Cape Cod. The prices typically range from $20 for an indoor antenna to $100 for roofmount models. More expensive roof-mount models can receive fainter signals, thus more stations. Distance from the transmitting station is the most important factor when choosing your antenna model. OTA can be coupled with any of the streaming services and equipment laid out in the following sections. Available channels on the Cape include: ABC NBC FOX CBS PBS The CW QVC To choose the best antenna for you, visit and enter your specific address to see how far the signal would have to travel. A screenshot (Figure 1) is shown on the next page along with a Boston OTA range map. 6

8 3. Streaming Equipment What is Streaming Equipment? Streaming equipment are the plug-ins you use to connect your streaming services (those described in the previous section) to your TV. These are unnecessary if you only plan to stream your services on a computer, smart phone, or tablet. Some examples of streaming equipment include: Roku Other Roku streaming devices range from $39.99 to $109.99, with varying streaming speeds and picture quality. Roku is compatible with Playstation Vue, Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, Sling TV, HBO, CBS All Access, and Starz. 8
9 Apple TV Depending on storage preferences, the prices range from $ to $
10 Apple TV has over 1,600 video apps to choose from, including Netflix, Starz, CBS All Access, FOX News, NFL Network, The Weather Channel, Hulu, HBO, Sling TV, Playstation Vue, and more of your favorite TV shows. Chromecast To use Chromecast, simply plug in the device to your TV s HDMI port and use your phone as a remote. Chromecast offers services such as Netflix, HBO, Hulu, Playstation Vue, NFL Sunday Ticket, and Google s own library of movies. 10
11 Amazon Fire TV Depending on your personal viewing preferences, Amazon offers three different devices. The Fire TV Stick is the cheapest and most popular of the three, but streaming quality increases with each device. You can use Amazon to watch Amazon, Hulu, Netflix, HBO, YouTube, Sling TV, ESPN, and many others. 11
12 4. Streaming Services What are streaming services? Streaming services are various applications that can be purchased at a monthly rate that provide television content over your Internet connection. ON DEMAND SERVICES Netflix ($7.99/month, standard definition, 1 user; $10.99/month, hi-def, 2 users; $13.99/month, Ultra HD, 4 users) Large selection of TV shows and movies for all ages Original content (e.g., The Crown, House of Cards, Stranger Things, Narcos, Bloodline, Orange Is The New Black, Altered Carbon, Longmire) Commercial-free Variety of pricing options and plans Amazon Prime Video ($8.99 a month; free with Amazon Prime membership, which costs $119 a year) Lots of movies, TV, and original content (e.g., The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Mozart In The Jungle, Sneaky Pete, The Man In The High Castle) Feature allows for customers to subscribe to premium channels, such as Starz, HBO and Showtime at their normal monthly rates (for example, HBO has a 7-day free trial and then costs $14.99/month; Starz has a 7-day free trial and then costs $8.99/month) 30-day free trial available Commercial-free 12
13 Hulu ($7.99/month w/commercials; $11.99/month w/o commercials) TV content available for playback, such as Seinfeld, Fear the Walking Dead, The Handmaid s Tale, and Cheers Includes current content from ABC, FOX, and NBC but not CBS Current shows added the next day after TV airing 30-day free trial available Available on multiple devices Large children s library available Multiple pricing options and plans Showtime ($10.99/month) Includes shows such as The Affair, Homeland, Roy Donovan, Twin Peaks, and Shameless the moment they air. Also includes children s options.

14 Starz ($8.99/month) Free 7-day trial Available for streaming on Apple products, Google Play, Roku, and Amazon Includes shows and movies such as Ice Age: The Meltdown, Inferno, Madeline, Risen, Ratatouille, and many others CBS All Access ($5.99/month with commercials; $9.99 without commercials) Free 7-day trial Includes over 8,000 episodes on demand from shows such as NCIS, Blue Bloods, The Big Bang Theory, CSI: Miami, and many CBS originals Live-TV streaming (CBS only) available 24/7 includes news and sports Available for streaming on Apple products, Amazon Fire, Google, Android, Roku, Playstation Vue, Xbox, and others There are many other services available, ranging from free to tens of dollars per month in subscription fees. All of these are accessible via smart televisions or standalone streaming devices, which are covered later. It is important to keep in mind that, depending on your viewing habits, you may well spend less money per month by subscribing to a bundled package from Comcast, DirecTV (satellite), or Dish (satellite), versus subscribing to multiple streaming services. The trick to saving a significant amount of money per month includes some analysis of what you really watch. Combined with a basic cable television service and 10 Mb per second or faster Internet service, any of the above on-demand services will provide most people the television experience they want while keeping the total monthly bill below $100. Others may want live channels, such as the Cable News Network s, ESPN, HGTV, and NESN. For them, live streaming offers a solution. 14
15 LIVE STREAMING SERVICES Hulu Live ($39.99/month) Includes live local channels, such as Boston channels 4 (CBS), 5 (ABC), 25 (FOX), 10 (NBC), Sports Boston (NBC Sports), and NECN Currently, Hulu Live does not include NESN (New England Sports Network), which features live broadcasts of the Red Sox and Bruins Other typical cable networks are included, such as the Food Network, FX, HGTV, Lifetime, National Geographic, Oxygen, Smithsonian Channel, History Channel, Travel Channel, TNT, USA, Disney Channel, CNN, Fox News, MSNBC, ESPN, Golf Channel) Get more information at No contract monthly service Sling TV ($20/$25/$40/month) Free 7-day trial Includes channels such as ESPN, FX, NBA TV, Fox Sports, TNT, FreeForm, CNN, MSNBC, many children s options, and more depending on which service you choose (blue or orange) Note that the service does not currently include NESN (Red Sox/Bruins) Sling Orange: $20/month Single stream (one TV/device at a time) Sling Blue: $25/month Multi stream (up to three TVs/devices at a time) No contract monthly service DirecTV Now ($40, $55, $65, $75/month; $45 Spanish language channel package) Free 7-day trial Depending on which service you choose, channels such as ABC, Bravo, Cartoon Network, CNBC, Discovery, DIY Network, Fox, ESPN, CNN and more can be accessed immediately 15

Home Telephone Services What phone options are accessible through an internet connection only? Although we advise against home phones because they are outdated and cellphones are more efficient, there are a few services that allow you to keep your home phone for a low monthly price. 16
17 Some examples include: Vonage Ooma 17
18 Examples Viewer Type: Local Stations Docs, Old Series No Ads Local Stations Current Series No Ads Local Stations Cable News HGTV & NESN Service: Basic cable ($14 to $33) Basic cable/internet ($75) $75 $75 $75 Netflix ($11) $11 Hulu ($12) $12 CBS All Access ($10) $10 PlayStation VUE ($50) $50 Total $86 $97 $125 A Note Regarding Basic Cable Pricing Only basic cable TV service and installation fees are allowed to be price regulated per FCC regulations. That is further limited to only communities where competitive services have less than 15% market share. For example, if DirectTV and Dish have 20% of the total TV viewing market, then prices for basic cable cannot be regulated. On the other hand, if the competitors have less than 15% market share, then a town is allowed to request price regulation, which is handled through the Massachusetts Department of Telecommunications and Cable and calculated by an FCC formula. Here's the kick in the butt. Ten of the 15 towns in Barnstable County have regulated basic cable TV service. Compare those rates to the "competitively" priced towns. Monthly price in towns with regulated basic cable TV: Barnstable - $19.51 Chatham - $19.95 Dennis - $19.87 Eastham - $16.40 Falmouth - $20.31 Harwich - $19.86 Orleans - $14.12 Provincetown - $16.71 Wellfleet - $16.36 Yarmouth - $19.80 Monthly price in towns where basic cable TV is unregulated: Bourne - $31.80 Brewster - $28.12 Mashpee - $28.57 Sandwich - $32.81 Truro - $
