Lawrence E. Strickling, Assistant Secretary for Communications and Information:

“Broadband will bring many benefits to the Nation, such as job creation and innovation, but these benefits have been delayed by the lack of comprehensive, reliable data on the availability of broadband service. This program addresses an important need and will provide a valuable tool in bringing broadband and jobs to more Americans.”

What’s the Big Deal?• Political / Policy Profile: HIGH• Breadth of interest among policy-makers,

stakeholders, public (even your mother!): HIGH• Fit with state GIS efforts: HIGH• Ability to leverage other GIS data for valuable

Part 2 – State Issues

• State by State strategies– Results from NSGIC State_Rep survey:

• 25 responses– Most State GIS Coordinators NOT the lead on bb

mapping, but all have some connection to the effort– Most states contracting for all or part of the work– Most State GIS Offices will be principle steward for

the data and distribution of it– Few State GIS Offices will be dealing directly with

broadband providers under NDA

– All State GIS Offices can reap benefits
