  1. The West Virginia Broadband Mapping Program Michael ClifforD West Virginia Geological and Economic Survey 2010 West Virginia GIS Conference June 9th, 2010

  2. Funding • Project is funded by a grant pursuant to the National Telecommunications and Information Administration State Broadband Data and Development Grant Program. • This program was created by Congress as part of the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act. Michael Clifford WVGES 6/9/2010

  3. Agencies Involved • State GIS Coordinator’s Office applied for grant funding and provided oversight. • Geological and Economic Survey performed data collection and normalization. • WV Department of Homeland Security provided information on Community Anchor Institutions. • Third party contractor performed data verification and analysis. Michael Clifford WVGES 6/9/2010

  4. Purpose • Develop a statewide broadband map to provide a comprehensive picture of the current infrastructure and deployment. • Analyze data in order to identify unserved and underserved areas. • Submit regular updates to NTIA that will be included in the National Broadband Map. Michael Clifford WVGES 6/9/2010

  5. Developing Source List • FRN numbers were gathered from the WV Cable Telecommunications Association, the WV Public Services Commission and the WV Broadband Deployment Council. • FRN numbers were then cross referenced with the FCC’s public information search tool in order to obtain contact information for each provider. Michael Clifford WVGES 6/9/2010

  6. Data Request • Providers were given a Non-Disclosure Agreement in order to protect proprietary business data. • Data request was made according to NTIA’s technical standards. • For the providers not as capable as others in meeting requirements, the WVGES assisted these providers with alternate submission options. Michael Clifford WVGES 6/9/2010

  7. Data Normalization • Data was received from provider’s and normalized into a geodatabase structure provided by NSGIC. • Geodatabase contains 8 feature classes and 12 domains. Michael Clifford WVGES 6/9/2010

  8. Service Overview Michael Clifford WVGES 6/9/2010

  9. Address Level Service Michael Clifford WVGES 6/9/2010

  10. Road Segment Level Service Michael Clifford WVGES 6/9/2010

Community Anchor Institutions • Anchor Institutions include K-12 schools, Vocational Centers, Libraries, Higher Education Institutions, Hospitals, Nursing Homes, Emergency Medical Services (EMS), Police and Fire Stations, Courthouses, County Health Departments and County Administration Offices. • Collected by the West Virginia Department of Homeland Security.

  15. Middle Mile Connection Points Michael Clifford WVGES 6/9/2010

  16. Preliminary Results • 54 separate service providers were identified within the state. • 33 have submitted data. • 10 are not required to submit data for various reasons. • 8 have responded but have not provided data as of now. • 3 have not responded in anyway way to data requests. Michael Clifford WVGES 6/9/2010

  17. Preliminary Map Michael Clifford WVGES 6/9/2010

  18. Issues • Data submitted from providers varies widely. From fully populated geodatabases to hand drawn maps. • Address level data is very difficult to geocode in rural areas. • No mechanism in place to require providers to submit data. Michael Clifford WVGES 6/9/2010

  19. Future Work • Data will be collected and updated every 6 months until September 2011. • Continued efforts will be made to obtain data not submitted. • Third party contractor will be analyzing the data. • Data will become available to the public through a web portal.
