[1st-mile-nm] NM DoIT Broadband Program Update

[Richard Lowenberg]

 From Gar Clarke:

The NM Online Broadband Map continues to gather Public WiFi Parking Lot 
Hotspots within New Mexico.  Currently we have added over 420 sites that 
folks without connectivity can gather around the EMF Hotspace and get 
services. In addition, under “Funding Areas” within the Table of 
Contents (TOC) we’ve added Project Areas the state is focusing on and 
“Unserved Locations” that were derived from our NM Broadband Strategic 
Plan. We created a HotSpot REST Service that is being ingested by 
Geospatial Population Studies  to support Census Activities and 
Community Learning Network to directly support families and students. In 
fact, take a look at what they built that is data simple, runs on a 
smartphone, and acquires information if the HotSpot is not working.
