YouTubeOn Monday September 26 2022 at 3-4:15pm EDT (19:00-20:15 UTC) the Benton Institute for Broadband & Society and the National Broadband Mapping Coalition host a panel ‘From the Ground Up: Broadband Mapping By and For Communities‘. United States communities and states are collecting data on local broadband availability as the Federal Communications Commission rolls out the Broadband Data Collection (BDC) program. BDC data will be used to determine the allocation and distribution of funding to states under the $42.5 billion Broadband Access Equity and Deployment (BEAD) program. Panelists will discuss these community data collection and mapping efforts, highlighting promising approaches for collaboration and best practices for speed test surveys. We will also discuss how states and communities can be best prepared for the challenge process to ensure they have access to the federal funds they need to address broadband availability.
