FCC
The FCC is currently working in
coordination with the National
Telecommunications and Information
Administration (NTIA) to perform the
FCC’s role under the Recovery Act.
Specifically, in conjunction with the
Broadband Technology Opportunities
Program established by the Act, the
FCC has been tasked with creating a
National Broadband Plan by February
17, 2010. The Recovery Act states that
the National Broadband Plan shall seek
to ensure all people of the United States
have access to broadband capability and
shall establish benchmarks for meeting
that goal.
NTIA
SUMMARY: RUS and NTIA announce general policy
and application procedures for broadband initiatives
established pursuant to the American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Recovery Act). RUS is
establishing the Broadband Initiatives Program (BIP)
which may extend loans, grants, and loan/grant
combinations to facilitate broadband deployment in
rural areas. NTIA is establishing the Broadband
Technology Opportunities Program (BTOP) which
makes available grants for deploying broadband
infrastructure in unserved and underserved areas in the
United States, enhancing broadband capacity at public
computer centers, and promoting sustainable broadband
adoption projects.

The State Broadband Data and Development
Grant Program is a competitive, merit-based
matching grant program that implements the joint
purposes of the ARRA and the Broadband Data
Improvement Act (BDIA). The program will
provide grants to assist states or their designees to
gather state-specific data on the availability,
speed, and location of broadband services. The
data collected and compiled, including publicly
available state-wide broadband maps, will also be
used to inform the comprehensive, interactive
national broadband map that NTIA is required by
the Recovery Act to create and make publicly
available by February 17, 2011.
The map will publicly display the geographic
areas where broadband service is available; the
technology used to provide the service; the
speeds of the service; and broadband service
availability at public schools, libraries,
hospitals, colleges, universities, and public
buildings. The national map will also be
searchable by address and show the broadband
providers offering service in the corresponding
census block or street segment.

“21st Century” Mapping Strategy to Empower Decision Making

Initiative In Brief
Goal: Establish a baseline of broadband service availability across the Commonwealth
Voluntary Reporting: Carriers voluntarily agreed to participate in the process with broad stakeholder support – at no cost to the
taxpayer
Respecting Market Privacy: Through Virginia’s CIT, carriers protected against risk of competitive disadvantage due to data loss
Technical Advantages: Virginia now recognizes the “new” FCC definition of at least 768Kbps download speed and at least
200Kbps upload speed as the minimum definition of broadband service
Address-Level Data: Virginia has a process in place to collect and map geo-coded address-level broadband availability data and geospatial and demographic information displayed at the County level - at no additional cost

Larry Strickling (NTIA Administrator)
“We want and need to provide full and fair consideration to our pool of applicants.
Given the large number of complex applications and the very voluminous amount of
information that we need to review, we have decided to expand our review period
and we are now targeting our first round grant awards for mid-December about a
month later than planned”…”We will not conclude the first round of fundng at the
end of this year as we had originally hoped, but we do expect to do so in February
of next year.”
Jonathan Adelstein (RUS Administrator)
“We have heard a lot of concerns about the definition of remote and we’re going to
completely revisit that in the next NOFA. As I indicated, we are going to put out
comment requests very shortly and one of the big questions we see is how do you
deal with this?”
