WTA began operating on January 1, 2004, as Western Telecommunications Alliance after a merger of two regional associations representing rural telecommunications providers in the western United States. Those two associations had collectively represented the rural industry west of the Mississippi for over 105 years.
The goal of Western Telecommunications Alliance was to be the Voice of the West. Western Telecommunications Alliance quickly became a leading voice and respected national association representing the interests of rural telecommunications companies on Capitol Hill and at the FCC and other federal agencies. In 2013, WTA’s membership unanimously voted to expand its membership to companies east of the Mississippi. The WTA Board of Directors retained the iconic WTA swoosh logo but with the expansion to the east, rebranded the association as WTA – Advocates for Rural Broadband. Today, WTA proudly represents more than 360 rural telecommunications companies throughout the United States and over 85 industry vendors.

Fiber Cost Model – Greenfield and Brownfield FTTP network builds, includes:rnu003culu003ern tu003cliu003eAccess Investment – Provides investment to acquire, engineer and install a fiber access network.u003c/liu003ern tu003cliu003eSuccess Based Investment – Captures investment for Optical Network Terminal (ONT) and drop at the Fabric Location. This is the investment associated with connecting a specific customer location to the fiber network. Also referred to as success based investment.u003c/liu003ern tu003cliu003eNPV – The Net Present Value of a 20-year cash flow accounting for revenue, operating expense (network specific, non-network specific, customer operations, bad debt, and general administration), capital expenses (income tax and replacement capex), and initial capex with discount rate of 8.5 percent. Fiber network design assumes a carrier agnostic network.u003c/liu003ernu003c/ulu003ern*Source: CostQuest Custom Model

5G Model
This data value provides the Wireless 5G cost profile for the area the Fabric Location resides in. Indicates whether a location falls in an area that is in the highest to lowest cost range of the country.rnrnAs examples: a value of 10 means the location falls in an area that is in the lowest 10% of the country; a value of 75 means the location falls in an area where the cost is in the highest 75% range of the country.rnrn*Source: CostQuest Custom Model
Take Rate
Residential and Non-Residential Fiber Take Rate (Market Share):rnrnAn estimate of the projected market share that a new fiber entrant will experience with residential and non-residential customers in the area. The rate takes into account the level and type of competition.rnrn*Source: CostQuest Custom Model
Build Complexity Scoring
A complexity score for each location for greenfield and brownfield fiber network builds. The scoring value incorporates linear density, terrain, cost differentials, large area density, distance to a central core, and other factors.rnrn*Source: CostQuest Custom Model
Building Statistics
Includes building height and roof slope – Where available, mean height above ground level and mean roof slope associated with the Fabric Location.
Natural Hazards
Identify locations at risk of natural hazards that may impact telecom infrastructure. Risks are reported as Annualized Frequency by natural hazard.rnrnIncludes:rnu003culu003ern tu003cliu003eHazards = Avalanche, Coastal Flooding, Cold Wave, Drought, Earthquake, Hail, Heat Wave, Hurricane, Ice Storm, Landslide, Lightning, Riverine Flooding, Strong Wind, Tornado, Tsunami, Volcanic Activity, Wildfire, Winter Weatheru003c/liu003ern tu003cliu003eFrequency = number of days per year that a natural hazard is expected to occuru003c/liu003ernu003c/ulu003ern*Source: FEMA National Risk Index
