COMPETITIVE RISKS WHAT THEY ARE AND HOW THEY ARE
MITIGATED
TV offerings by Comcast because they own content and their
interface is intuitive and user friendly.
о
Mitigated by the OTT offerings that are currently on
the market and our ability to market these to our
customers.
Most TV content consolidation has already occurred
leaving the big three.

Any further mergers would likely violate antitrust regulations.
With the loss of net neutrality ‘bad players' will likely face anti-trust suits brought by other big providers in the OTT platform.
Trend has been away from single sourcing content.
Perceived risk - 5G wireless. While this is a perceived risk to UTOPIA/UIA services, the following statements provide reason why it is not
an actual risk to UTOPIA/UIA.
О
О
5G deployments are heavily dependent on fiber.
Many of the wireless providers in Utah utilize UTOPIA/UIA Fiber infrastructure and are a source of revenue.
Increased use of wireless increases demand for fiber and increased revenue for UTOPIA/UIA Fiber without taking from primary line
service for homes and businesses.
5G is not a replacement for primary service at homes.
According to a leading 5G equipment vendor, 5G is only incrementally better than 4G and is expected to have minimal change on
the market.
Perceived risk - Satellite Broadband (Next-Gen)
о Good for cruise ships, military, extremely rural areas.
О
Much higher latency than fiber.
One desk-sized satellite covers 92,200 square miles. Utah alone covers 84,900 square miles.
The incumbent telecoms outspend UTO PIA/UIA on marketing and public relations efforts.
Mitigated by the fact that their offerings are not as good as UTOPIA/UIA and they have negative market perception.
