Rationale

rural_spectrum_utilization 18%. Use-it-or-lose-it and community access pool.

Details

Epoch: 102

Domain: telecommunications

Fiscal cost estimate (LLM): $0.32B CAD

Structural estimate (RIPPLE): +$707.81B CAD net (v3-bfs-signed depth=2, decay=0.5/hop; diverges)

Top RIPPLE cost paths
  • +$789.89B → consumer_spending (Consumer Spending Growth) via employment_rate
  • −$130.69B → education_spending (Education Spending) via rural_broadband_coverage_rate
  • +$24.73B → healthcare_spending (Healthcare Spending) via employment_rate
  • +$20.22B → defense_spending (Defence Spending (DND)) via employment_rate

Variable changes

  • carrier_lock_in_index: 0.74 → 0.54
  • rural_broadband_coverage_rate: 41 → 53
  • rural_spectrum_utilization_rate: 18 → 60
  • community_network_operator_count: 47 → 297

Proposed policy move

carrier_lock_in_index: 0.74 → 0.54 (▼ -0.2)
rural_broadband_coverage_rate: 41 → 53 (▲ 12)
rural_spectrum_utilization_rate: 18 → 60 (▲ 42)
community_network_operator_count: 47 → 297 (▲ 250)

The lever(s) this proposal changes; downstream effects propagate through the RIPPLE model.
