UTB-CBIRD Report: “At The Crossroads” Economic Development 147 South Texas Internet/STI (www.ies.net) Brownsville, Texas Know-how Capital Talent Infrastructure Research Networking Equipment Skilled Labor Provider/Sales STI has approximately 400 broadband clients, 5% being residential. The company offers DSL, wireless internet access, IP telephony, WebPage development, and virus-checking email. Infrastructure Applications South Texas Internet (STI) has fiber connections that run along Route 77 to Houston and they also have a redundant T3 to UUnet, in Dallas. If cut, their connection reroutes to the Internet so their customers are never offline. Figure 5.24. Wireless Coverage Area Along the Border Corridor One Region -- One Future The key to expanding this cluster is to continue to enhance public education action initiatives at UTB/TSC, and TSTC that will foster entrepreneurship in Computer Aided Manufacturing and to share innovations across the educational system and into industry clusters seamlessly. Doug McGee, CEO South Texas Internet
UTB-CBIRD Report: “At The Crossroads” Economic Development 148 TIAA, South Texas Internet has added three cell sites to service Weslaco, Los Indios and McAllen, and Los Fresnos. They also have clients in Matamoras that are primarily maquiladoras and residential accounts tied to maquiladora management. One frustration CEO Doug McGee faces is the lack of a qualified local workforce: “We have to import people who know technology, because the educated people we need aren’t here.” In an effort to raise CIT consciousness in the area, South Texas Internet hosts the yearly Brownsville High School web competition. “Education is the key to it all. The Valley has more potential than any place I’ve ever lived. Kids here need to be taught hands-on… not in a didactic way. We need to educate the barrios out of existence.” South Texas Internet plans to improve and enlarge their infrastructure; but such solutions are often made difficult or impossible by larger industry competitors. The key challenge, according to Dough McGee, is to increase the number of competitive local exchange carriers in the Valley and prevent Southwestern Bell from dividing communities into separate calling areas that inhibit local ISPs from entering the dial-up market without substantial equipment cost in each calling area. According to Mr. McGee, “Because they are the monopoly, SWB is able legislate competition out of existence. However, there is no lack of good ideas here; the challenge is how to move forward.” Figure 5.25.
