Presentation to the inaugural Utah Broadband Project Advisory Committee, June 9, 2011. The presentation focuses on the composition of the mapping/GIS data assembled from Utah's broadband providers by the Project and some of the analytical possibilities that can be used to support the planning and further implementation of broadband in Utah.

2. Utah Broadband Project:
What is Being Mapped?
• NTIA Broadband Definition:
– Low Speed Bar: 768K down, 200K Up (maximum advertised speed)
– Many Technologies
– What are Utah’s goals?
• Mapping Speed & Technology:
– Wireless Service Areas
• Mobile and Fixed Wireless Service Area polygons
– Wire-based Service Areas
• Census Block (where blocks <= 2 sq miles)
• Road Segment
• Address Service Points
– Infrastructure
• Middle & Last Mile Locations
– Service Overview (by county)
– Community Anchor Institutions
• Schools, Emergency Response, Health, Government, Public Services

5. Example: Wireline Service By Census Block, SLC

6. Wireline Service By Road Segment Examples, Herriman
area mapped by Census Blocks
(where y2k CB area <= 2.0 sq miles)

7. Examples: Community Anchor Institution Location and Speed Data
