Signed by President Bush on October 10, 2008 – PL 110-385 Improve quality of Federal and State data regarding
availability and quality of broadband servicesPromote deployment of affordable broadband servicesEncourage State initiatives to improve broadband
Baseline broadband deployment Identify barriers to broadband adoption Create local planning teams Increase computer ownership
Broadband Data Improvement Act

American Recovery & Reinvestment Act $7.2 billion for broadband
Competitive grant and loan opportunities through federal programs
US Dept of Agriculture: Rural Utilities Service (RUS) US Dept of Commerce: National Telecommunications &
Information Administration (NTIA) RUS focus on rural areas NTIA focus on unserved and underserved Specific programs
State Broadband Data & Deployment Grant Program Sustainable Adoption Programs Public Computing Centers Broadband Infrastructure National Broadband Plan

Recovery Act Authorizes Broadband Mapping Pursuant to the Recovery Act
NTIA shall develop and maintain a comprehensive, interactive and searchable nationwide inventory map of existing broadband service capability and availability in the US that depicts the geographic extent to which broadband service capability is deployed and available from a commercial or public provider throughout each state.

94.6% of Ohio households have
broadband available. More than 70
broadband providers contribute the data behind this map.
Ohio Broadband Availability
FCC, NTIA, and USDA definitions will determine additional layers and criteria for map updates.

State Broadband Data and Development
Ohio Approach Support existing spatial data development projects
in Ohio Provide more accurate and up-to-date base
mapping to overlay aggregate provider bandwidth data
Tie bandwidth data to specific addresses – identifying coverage to a higher degree of accuracy
Identify gaps in broadband availability for Ohio
