Broadband Map = THE Economic Develoment Layer of the Next Quarter Century.
The geospatial approach to statewide Broadband planning, mapping, implementation and policy. Insights into public/private partnerships in compiling and maintaining Broadband-related data.
Introduction – John Felton, NLC. One of the opportunities available to assist libraries in supporting their broadband connectivity costs is applying for E-rate discounts on internet service. This necessitates complying with the requirements of the Children’s Internet Protection Act (CIPA) by filtering internet access. In this session we will hear about what CIPA actually requires, about the issues a library director must deal with when deciding to filter internet access, about how filtering can be accomplished with low cost, and about the results of a survey completed by Nebraska libraries that have installed a filter.
CIPA: Myths vs. Reality – Christa Burns, NLC, will clear up some of the misconceptions about CIPA and how it relates to E-rate.
Filtering Internet Content – Pam Soreide, Holdrege Area Public Library, & George Matzen, Webermeier Memorial Library. Participants in this session will leave with a sense of what factors should be considered in the decision whether or not to filter Internet content at public workstations. Discussion will include patron perceptions and management issues.

FCC LAUNCHES DEVELOPMENT OF NATIONAL BROADBAND PLAN
Seeks Public Input on Plan to Ensure Every American has Access to Broadband Capability
Washington, D.C. – The Federal Communications Commission today begins the process of
developing a national broadband plan that will seek to ensure that every American has access to
broadband capability.
In the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 – known as the stimulus package –
Congress charged the Commission with creating a national broadband plan. In a Notice of Inquiry
adopted today, the Commission begins a proceeding to create that national broadband plan, seeking input
from all stakeholders: consumers, industry, large and small businesses, non-profits, the disabilities
community, governments at the federal, state, local and tribal levels, and all other interested parties.
The Commission must deliver the plan to Congress by Feb. 17, 2010. It will provide a roadmap
toward achieving the goal of ensuring that all Americans reap the benefits of broadband. The Recovery
Act requires the plan to explore several key elements of broadband deployment and use, and the
Commission now seeks comment on these elements, including:
· The most effective and efficient ways to ensure broadband access for all Americans
· Strategies for achieving affordability and maximum utilization of broadband infrastructure
and services
· Evaluation of the status of broadband deployment, including the progress of related grant
programs
· How to use broadband to advance consumer welfare, civic participation, public safety and
homeland security, community development, health care delivery, energy independence and
efficiency, education, worker training, private sector investment, entrepreneurial activity, job
creation, and economic growth, and other national purposes.
Action by the Commission, April 8, 2009, by Notice of Inquiry (FCC 09-31). Acting Chairman
Copps, Commissioners Adelstein, and McDowell. Separate statements issued by Acting Chairman
Copps, Commissioners Adelstein, and McDowell.
Docket No. GN 09-51
