James Stegeman Email & Phone Number

Mr. Stegeman has been a major force behind the development of the latest generation network cost models used by wireline and wireless companies and state and government agencies in support of broadband deployment analysis (telco, cable, wireless and satellite) and UNE (Unbundled Network Element) and USF (Universal Service Fund) proceedings. He led the design, coding and implementation of the CostProWyoming model currently in use in Wyoming to estimate the cost of broadband deployment. He designed, coded and implemented the Cost Proxy Model (CPM) currently in use in California for universal service support determination. He led the design, coding and implementation of the Benchmark Cost Proxy Model (BCPM) used for universal service support determination. He led the design and development of the BSTLM-CostPro loop model designed to support USO and UNE costing. BSTLM-CostPro has been approved by multiple state commissions and is in use by multiple carriers with operations in over 30 states. This model incorporates geocoded customer locations, road networks, engineering rules, and unique algorithms to design a truly forward-looking communications network. In addition to his U.S. network model experience, Mr. Stegeman has also designed the Universal Service Cost model adopted for use in Hong Kong. He also led the development of the Australian Universal Service Cost model, and he was retained to assist in the development of similar costing models in Japan. And most recently, he led the effort to create the core network model for New Zealand’s USF proceedings. This New Zealand model has been referred to as a “best-in-class TSLRIC model” by an independent outside party.Mr. Stegeman is also well aware of costing and costing methods and their application to business needs. He has designed, coded and implemented various business case, product profitability and customer profitability models in use throughout the world.Specialties: Network Modeling, UNE costing, USF (Universal Service), Profitability analysis/modeling, product pricing, business case analysis, regulatory consulting, expert witnessing, GIS / Spatial analysis, tax valuation, valuation, costing
