The National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) has established the State and Local Implementation Grant Program (SLIGP) to fund state, local, and tribal planning activities for the nationwide public safety broadband network. NTIA will provide $121.5 million in grants, with each state and territory receiving a minimum of $500,000. The grants do not require competition and will be used for initial planning work over three years, with the goal of developing governance structures for consultation with the First Responder Network Authority. Recipients must provide a 20% funding match and will be evaluated based on their responses to application questions regarding broadband network planning.
The Remaining Stimulus Rounds Have Been Consolidated, But Your Options For Fu...Going Wimax
The broadband stimulus funding saga continues, with an interesting plot twist introduced last week. On November 10, the USDA’s Rural Utilities Service (RUS) and the Commerce Department’s National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) announced that they were “streamlining” the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act’s broadband grant and loan programs by awarding the remaining funding in just one more round, instead of two rounds.

The Georgia Enterprise IT Strategic Plan 2020 is intended
to assist state government’s technology and business
leaders in making informed technology decisions for their
agencies. It establishes focus areas and goals for the state’s
IT enterprise over the next six years.
The plan does not replace the business-oriented plans
of individual state agencies. As a secondary planning
document, it assists agencies in aligning their use of
technology with the direction established for the state’s
IT enterprise. Technologies highlighted in the plan can
be used by all state agencies regardless of their mission
or complexity.
During Fall 2013, the Georgia Technology Authority empanelled an inter-agency Geographic Information Office (GIO) Task Force for the purpose of identifying the need for and resources to sustainably establish such an entity for Georgia

On the Prospects of Developing Khartoum Sustainable Geospatial Systemijtsrd
For the development of sustainable geospatial system Khartoum State has to initiate an strategy to implement an enterprise GIS solutions, which necessitate the development and utilization of Spatial Data Infrastructure, as well as the unification of geomatics standards, specification and referencing systems, By fully implementing SDI based on well approved roadmap that enable the State to produce efficiencies and higher customer satisfaction based on geospatial solutions and to open a new era in the provision of government services to the general public. For the successful implementation of the geospatial system in Khartoum State, the Survey Directorate has to be considered as the focal point for spatial data acquisition, access and delivery and to play its important role in GIS and geospatial implementation.

National Optical Fibre Network - A Review of the Pilot BlocksRajat Kumar
The National Optical Fibre Network (NOFN) is aimed at providing broadband connectivity to 2, 50,000 Gram Panchayats in an effort to provide last mile connectivity as critical infrastructure. The NOFN’s aim is to provide all necessary government services to citizens in an effort to allow then access to information which would lead to their empowerment and development. To check the issues and challenges in the implementation of the NOFN, a pilot project was implemented in 59 Gram Panchayats in 3 Blocks
In an effort to assess the rollout of the NOFN in the Pilot blocks, DEF conducted a study to analyse connectivity in the pilot locations.
Building Spatial Data Infrastructures for Spatial Planning in Africa: Lagos e...Samuel Dekolo
Lagos is the fastest growing Megacity in Sub-Saharan Africa, with its population estimated to double in the first quarter of this century; it is expected to be the third largest urban agglomerations in the world. This growth is not without challenges, as the city is grappling with myriads of urban management problems. City planners lack the most important ingredient of land use management, which is Information. In spite of huge investment on spatial data infrastructures at the national and state levels of government, most land use planners at both state and local government level agencies are ignorant of existing geospatial technology portals and unlock the full potentials of information and communication technologies. A statewide survey of the spatial data infrastructures of the city’s urban and land use management ministry and agencies proves its pathetic state, thereby creating information gap void between urban development and intelligent management. The result is has led to a sporadic growth of slums and unplanned settlements which now accounts for over 60% of the city. To avoid an impasse, it is necessary to review the level of geospatial technologies used at the local level and recommend formidable means of integration in the decision making process. This paper examines the level of geospatial technologies and Spatial Data Infrastructure use in spatial planning agencies and barriers to implementation in the 20 local governments of Lagos State and suggests the way forward.
The emergence of the Networked Society means people all around the world are demanding more in terms of ICT infrastructure and internet-enabled services. A new review of 15 countries looks at the different ways governments are using ICT to transform their nations.

Georgia GIS Network and GIO Sustainabillty ReportState of Georgia
In June 2014 a task force empanelled by the Georgia Technology Authority (GTA) recommended that a consultant-facilitated study be completed to determine business sustainability options for a proposed Geographic Information Office (GIO). The University of Georgia, supported by the Polis Center at Indiana University Purdue University at Indianapolis, was selected for this study.
This report represents the findings from that study and provides the requirements, options and recommendations to sustain a GIO. It also addresses business model and funding elements, identifies potential market and product offerings, discusses the anticipated customer base and addresses other financial considerations related to sustaining GIO beyond the initial two years currently funded.
