Initial Local Government Reaction to Industry Changes Local government reaction to state deregulation, network convergence, and transition to IP networks: • Activities previously regulated were transitioned to IT department. • Regulatory oversight was eliminated, reduced, or retargeted elsewhere. • Lack of regulatory oversight led to reduced interdepartmental coordination. • Contracting for converged telecom/information technology services was approached as technology procurement. 8
Practical Response to Industry Changes Practical response to deregulation, network convergence and transition to IP networks: • Recognize that “deregulation” does not mean the absence of regulation, but rather a shift to federal activities. Participate in advocacy at FCC, Congress and federal courts. • Procurement of converged telecom and information technology requires staff to understands service offerings, evolving network architecture, legal framework, and regulatory landscape. Staff needs to acquire new skill set through training or new hires. Contracts need to include quality of service standards (SLAs), consumer protections and other items previously mandated by state regulation. • Telecom procurement and deployment requires closer interdepartmental cooperation. In response to this new reality, San Antonio created a new governance structure to prioritize and align IT investments with the needs of the city. All major IT investments must be approved by governance board. 9
