All About the (Accurate) Data
Must have reliable data (that is verifiable).
Data must be current (i.e., maintained over time)
Data must be accessible
Data must make sense (geospatially-enhanced).
BB + all other contextual data
o Today’s theme: Georgia #1!

The Broadband Map:
Georgia and Nation
Where is (and isn’t) Broadband?
Necessary for Policy, Planning, Analysis,
Investment, Deployment and other “Place-Based”
strategies. GeoAccounting.

“BB 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 BB service.”
2009 Lawrence A. Strickling, Assistant Secretary for Communications and Information

The Broadband Map:
States and Nation
’07: $22M brought to
CA by FCC to create
an e-Health network
’08: $100M offered by
CPUC to bridge digital
divide
’09: CA just received
$2.3M from NTIA for
BB mapping/planning
Docket R.06-06-028
11.20.07 Press Release: “Gov. Schwarzenegger Announces $22 Million ..”

Accurate Data & Resolution
Other accurate/
authoritative data are
critical for Policy and
economic development
o
Addresses, parcels,
accurate road
centerlines, political
boundaries, census
data, community
facilities
5

Public/Private Partnerships
Partnership/investment necessary to bring this to
fruition?
o
o
o
o
No single source of data or standards (provider data, surveys,
BB speed, type, adoption rates)
NSGIC BB Data Model (www.nsgic.org) Public/private
partnerships protect proprietary data concerns and reduce
states’ legal liability.
Point: Govt needs to maintain intellectual capital, or it
essentially outsources its decision-making abilities
Counter-point: “85% of the Nation’s infrastructure assets .. are
owned, operated and maintained by the private sector.”

Public/Private Partnerships
States will collect and verify availability, speed,
type of BB (+ display of other economic +
demographic data)
BB mapping: driver of the future (research +
distance learning + telemedicine + telepathology
+ AR + countless other applications)
Investments in BB coordination should be
integrated with existing business/geospatial
mapping efforts

Catalyst for Public Good
17.2 million employee telecommuters
Cisco saves ~$277 million in productivity through
telework.
IBM saves $100 million a year in real estate costs
by encouraging telecommuters. 1

Takeaways
Fact-based decisions require accurate, current and
accessible data. GeoAccounting
Georgia is well-positioned to lead in BB technology
adoption in 2020
Georgia is also well-positioned to integrate BB
data in a geospatial context with other statewide
assets to create a COP (dashboard)
