The Utah Broadband Project aims to create a statewide map of broadband services and foster greater adoption and deployment by engaging stakeholders and mapping service availability. The project has produced its first-ever broadband map, secured extended funding, and set goals for further data review and community interaction. Upcoming initiatives include convening a task force to address barriers to deployment and incorporating speed test data into the map for better decision support.

2. The Utah Broadband Project Purpose To develop a statewide map of available broadband services and a plan to increase broadband adoption and deployment in the state.

3. Where We Are—and Where We’re Going First Year Accomplishments Second Year Goals The National Broadband Map The State Broadband Map Upcoming Events

4. First Year Accomplishments Created and Released Utah Broadband Project Website : broadband.utah.gov . Successfully produced the first-ever broadband map for the State of Utah. Secured funding for additional projects and extension of the program from two to five years. Held the Broadband Provider Roundtable , the first attempt in Utah to tackle broadband issues at the State-level by convening stakeholders and decision-makers. Interfaced with other states ’ broadband projects to learn best practices and hear about innovate programs. Received favorable press coverage and an E-Gov website award .

5. Second Year Goals Have a data review session with every broadband provider serving Utah. Hit the road! Make local facilities visits to get updates from providers, meet with community leaders and learn more about Utah’s needs for deployment and adoption. Release broadband demand study results and summary. Create and convene the Utah Broadband Task Force , whose role will be to identify barriers to deployment and adoption, create regional coordination, and make recommendations for the State Broadband Plan. Continue to interface with efforts in-state, out-of-state and nationally to promote broadband deployment and use. Incorporate state and federal speed test data into the Utah Broadband Map.

8. The National Map “ When the map went live yesterday, the response was astounding, with the number of requests to the website averaging more than 1,000 per second! Below is just a short list of the metrics we observed on our first day; Total hits yesterday: 158,123,884 Hits served by cache: 141,068,348 (89.21%) Total Bytes Transferred: 863GB Peak Requests per Second: 8,970 Average Requests per Second: 1,095 Visits in the first 10 hours: over 500,000 This phenomenal response shows that the investment of time, energy, and — not least of all — Congressional funds were well worth it. The National Broadband Map clearly has a market of interest, and we’re extremely proud to see that market being well served.” -Michael Byrne [FCC Mapping GURU] February 18, 2011

10. Broadband Mapping: What is Being Mapped? NTIA Broadband Definition: Low Bar: 768K down, 200K up Speed & Technology: Wireless Service Areas Service polygons Wire-based Service Areas Census Block (where blocks <= 2 sq miles) Road Segment Address Service Points Infrastructure Middle & Last Mile Locations Community Anchor Institutions Schools, Emergency Response, Health, Government, Public Services

12. Map Design Goals Consumer and Business Decision Support: What provider options and performance are available at a specified locations? What locations is broadband service available from a provider of interest (a current provider, for example)? Does the broadband map accurately reflect available services? Community Leader Decision Support: How does broadband service compare in an area of interest with other parts of the state? Where are un- or under-served areas for which the expansion of broadband service or performance should be targeted? Does the broadband map accurately reflect available services? Broadband Providers Decision Support: Where are opportunities to expand service and performance? Does the broadband map accurately reflect available services?
