[1st-mile-nm] NTIA Webinar BTOP

[Harris, Brian, WEU NMAGO]

Join us for a Webinar on July 24 

On July 24, 2009, the Department of Commerce's National
Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) will host an
online workshop on its recently announced grant program to fund
collection of state-level broadband data, as well as state-wide
broadband mapping and planning. This initiative will provide consumers
with better information on the broadband services available to them and
inform efforts to increase broadband availability nationwide. The
workshop is intended to present information and answer questions about
the grant application process for potential applicants. The State
Broadband Data and Development Grant Program is a competitive,
merit-based matching grant program that implements the joint purposes of
the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act and the Broadband Data
Improvement Act (BDIA). The Program will provide up to approximately
$240 million in grants to assist states or their designees to develop
state-specific data on the deployment levels and adoption rates of
broadband services. These data, including publicly available state-wide
broadband maps, will also be used to develop 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
workshop will be recorded and made available online at
www.broadbandusa.gov. Grant applications for this program will be
accepted through the online grants.gov system until August 14, 2009.
Pre-registration for the workshop is required and NTIA recommends
registering no later than two hours in advance. Potential applicants are
invited to email questions about the grant program to
broadbandmapping at ntia.doc.gov in advance of the workshop.
