About Us

We are committed to support a better, faster, more consistent and affordable way to deliver internet services to homes, businesses and institutions.


We do this by offering two products;

1. Infrastructure development;

FSP3 helps State and local Government partners arrange private funding for a broadband network with substantially all the development and operational risks transferred to the private partner.

2. Advisory services;

Focusing on all stages of the project lifecycle, performance requirements and project risks to ensure that the broadband network will be a reliable platform with the necessary flexibility to achieve the desired broadband objectives.

FSP3 delivers a "deployable" feasibility study for State or local governments.

In contrast to the traditional "THREE HUNDRED" approach;

  • 100 thousand dollars
  • 100 days to deliver
  • 100 page report

Which "traditionally" results in spending precious time & money on a study that will need to be redone when the design firm is contracted to complete and (hopefully) stand behind their work, price & timeline.

Local Commitment

FSP3 promotes a unique Public-Private Partnership (P3) that begins with the Public Partner's involvement to determine what should be delivered, then relies on both the Public Partner's resources, as well as local area contractor support and ends with the private partner carrying the risk of delivering
what was promised, including cost, time to build & performance.
