	Act Now for a Publicly Owned Wireless Network
		It is worth noting that other cities that have eventually chosen to allow a privately owned wireless networks have gotten better deals from their private partners if they first own the most valuable portion of the network – the fiber backbone.
		We write to urge you to reconsider your vote in favor of a privately owned network, and to follow the example of a growing number of other cities that have determined broadband is infrastructure and should be publicly owned.
		Another is for the city or a non-profit entity to own the physical infrastructure in the same way that the city owns the roads or the water pipes, then lease space to private entities to provide services over that network.

	CSD 1998 Background Paper 22 THE ROLE OF PUBLICLY FUNDED RESEARCH AND PUBLICLY OWNED TECHNOLOGIES IN THE TRANSFER AND ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		The Governmentþs control and influence over the technological knowledge produced in publicly funded research and development institutions open up a potential for the generation of publicly owned technologies that could be made accessible to developing countries, and could be an important means for Governments to catalyse private sector technology transfer.
		A difficulty in commercializing publicly funded ESTs on a global level due to legal constraints is exemplified by a case study of fuel cells in the United States.
		Publicly owned technology is the product of publicly financed RandD, whether or not it is protected by intellectual property rights, while technology in the public domain is formally proprietary technology whose intellectual property protection has already expired or which never received or was never eligible for protection.

	Methodological and Technological issues in Technology Transfer
		The issue of publicly owned technology transfer and the role that national regulatory frameworks play in creating demand and markets for ESTs (See Table 2, UNCTAD, 1998) was addressed both in the Rio Summit of 1992 and the UNGASS of 1997.
		To fully explore this issue, a feasibility study on "the role of publicly funded research and publicly owned technologies in the transfer and diffusion of ESTs" was undertaken in 1997 jointly by the UNCTAD, UNEP and UN/DESA (UNCTAD, 1998).
		No specific policy measures were implemented for the transfer of publicly owned technologies among 10 countries studied, except by the US which restricts by law the transfer of publicly owned technologies solely to companies manufacturing substantially in the US.

		The second is that publicly owned fiber backbone provides essentially unlimited capacity, while private networks would charge for each incremental upgrade.
		But by building publicly owned broadband infrastructure that is open to multiple service providers, the City can increase local competition and reduce the prices residents pay for broadband services.
		City officials say that the privately owned network they propose will be open access, but they do not have the long-term authority to regulate the access rates the private network owner would charge.

	CPD - Community Development - Rules and Regulations - Policy Memoranda - Acquisition of Publicly Owned Real Property - ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		This is in response to your March 30, 1993, cc:Mail message requesting a policy determination on the acquisition of publicly owned property under the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program.
		The Department's policy regarding acquisition is that the use of CDBG funds to purchase real property already owned by the grantee or an agent thereof, where there is no transfer of title, does not constitute an eligible acquisition pursuant to 24 CFR 570.201(a).
		If the property owned by the Housing Authority is not held in the name of the County, the proposed transaction would appear to qualify as acquisition since there would be a transfer of title.

		The solution to this dilemma, the company's directors have decided, is to turn Journal Communications into a publicly owned company, with an initial offering of shares on the New York Stock Exchange to take place sometime this fall.

	Ford Foundation: Energy Taxes and Subsidies - 115
		The best judgment appears to be that, on the average, publicly owned utilities are in fact operated somewhat less efficiently than private utilities, otherwise we would observe a stronger trend toward public utilities in view of their significant tax advantages.
		On the face of things, the allowance of federal tax advantages for publicly owned electric companies is an unwise energy policy.
		The technical problem of imposing an income tax on the operation of publicly owned utilities could be avoided by making publicly owned utilities subject to an excise tax that would produce revenue equivalent to what would be produced by normal pricing.
