National Broadband MapThe New Mexico Broadband Map data are provided by the state to the federal government every sixmonths, on the same cycle as the NMBB Map updates; the data inform the National Broadband Map(NBM; http://www.broadbandmap.gov), the federal government’s primary source of statistics regardingbroadband availability nationwide. 1The NBM is a great achievement and represents the first time that the United States has attempted tocollect these data in one central location in order, ideally, to provide a picture of true broadbandavailability nationwide. It is important to note, however, that data are displayed differently on the NewMexico and National Broadband Maps. The NBM displays wireline technology coverages using Censusblocks that are less than two square miles in area; for the blocks that are greater than two square milesin area, road segments are mapped. These road segments are buffered with a 500-foot radius to createpolygons, or areas. Whereas, the NMBB Map displays broadband wireline coverages using Censusblocks, regardless of size of area. For wireless technologies, NBM and NMBB display coverages in thesame manner.The NBM website allows users to search and compare data in a variety of ways. Enter an address to viewbroadband providers for the Census block that contains the address (Find Broadband); generatesummary statistics for broadband availability or rank a given area for a specific attribute (Analyze theData); or map broadband availability by technology type (Explore the Maps). (Figure 15)Figure 15: National Broadband Map WebsiteThe NBM website also allows you to access summary data for the state as a whole (Figure 16), or forother geographies (e.g., congressional district, native lands, city, county). And you can export data in anumber of file formats for further analysis or mapping.1 The NBM is a collaborative effort among the Federal Communications Commission and the Department ofCommerce’s National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA). NTIA is also the agency thatoversees the $7.2 billion in Broadband Technology Opportunities Program (BTOP) stimulus grants authorizedunder the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.NMBB Program: Community Broadband Master Plan Guidebook 14

Often, you can use anindividual address in your community to pinpoint the availability of broadband from a given companyNMBB Program: Community Broadband Master Plan Guidebook 15
