Broadband Then and Now
Wilford SaundersWITA/OTA annual meeting 2012
May 22nd 2012
Skamania Broadband in 2004
“It was determined that attempting to illustrate other service availability (suchas cellular coverage, availability of dial-up ISP, etc) would not be feasible or maintainable on an ongoing basis.” Gorge Telecom Plan 2004
Pioneering work by Gorge Teleconsortium
Skamania Broadband in 2012
•Updated every 6 months•County, state and national maps available•Validated by consumers
State Broadband Mapping 2008
• High Speed Internet Working Group struggled with mapping needs and possibilities.
• “The state desires HSIS mapping at the census block level, but this would require significant time and expense on the part of the service providers and the state. Alternatively, the state should consider mapping at the census tract level, where data will be more readily available…”

State Broadband Mapping 2012
• “This map should provide – adoption information, – availability information, – the HSIS technology used, – available speed tiers.
• It should link to providers’ websites to obtain pricing data.
• The map should also allow for an interactive, web-based version that receives queries and inputs from consumers.”
Maps of the Future
• Validation & Feedback– Propagation testing (beta test March 2012)– Speed testing by providers (in alpha testing now)– Customer feedback loop
• But fundamentally? Better maps.– Address level maps for citizens– High-capacity maps for economic development– Direct updates from provider systems
Rural Broadband Adoption
• In 2007 the UTC studied broadband availability and adoption in 5 rural counties:– “32% of total residents in the five studied counties
have wireline broadband services”• In 2011 the NTIA studied rural and urban
broadband adoption across the country– 68% of rural households have broadband

Looking Forward
• BTOP, BIP projects done in 2013– a thousand miles of fiber– hundreds of construction jobs
• Broadband Initiative done in 2014– a working broadband map– Local technology teams– Research and policy documents
• Universal Service reform ongoing
