The Utah Broadband Project has worked since 2010 to expand broadband access across Utah through partnerships. It formed a broadband advisory council in 2011 to improve coordination among providers. In the past 6 months, 3 new providers were added to the broadband map and 16 existing providers increased their speeds and coverage areas. The project's interactive broadband map provides detailed data on residential broadband availability and has seen increasing user numbers. It has also conducted drive tests, surveys, and regional planning teams to identify barriers and opportunities to expand broadband. The project aims to continue promoting deployment best practices and serving as an advisor on broadband policy.
The document summarizes broadband infrastructure programs in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act that provide $7.2 billion for broadband grants. $4.7 billion is allocated to NTIA to establish the Broadband Technology Opportunities Program for competitive broadband grants. $2.5 billion is allocated to RUS for broadband grants, loans, and loan guarantees. The programs aim to create short-term jobs and long-term economic benefits through improved broadband availability, access, and adoption. Key implementation challenges include defining eligible areas and obligations, defining broadband, coordinating agencies, and ensuring transparency.
Governor Paterson's Recovery Cabinet will host workshops throughout New York to discuss the second round of broadband stimulus funding from the NTIA and RUS programs. The workshops will highlight changes to the NOFA and encourage partnerships and comprehensive solutions to improve broadband access. State and local agencies, non-profits, libraries, and broadband providers are invited to attend to apply for funding, which will be awarded on a rolling basis beginning in June 2010.
The FCC voted to modernize its Form 477 data collection program by adding broadband deployment data collection to supplement existing subscription data. Beginning September 2014, fixed and mobile broadband providers will report deployment data including maximum speeds and coverage areas at the census block and mobile license area levels respectively. The FCC will rely initially on overlapping state data but aims to fully transition providers to the new Form 477 requirements over time. The FCC will continue working with states and making deployment data publicly available while protecting competitively sensitive information.

Rhode Island has a high percentage of structurally deficient bridges, with 22.7% rated as such in 2014. Federal funding is restricted for states that have over 10% deficient bridges, limiting Rhode Island's ability to use funds for temporary repairs. At the current rate of spending, the deficiency rating will worsen to 47% of bridges in 10 years. The state proposed tolls on trucks through the RhodeWorks program to fund $500 million in bridge repairs, which could allow the state to meet the federal threshold 7 years earlier than projected and save $1 billion. However, the tolling proposal stalled in the legislature due to opposition from trucking companies.
