To: National Broadband Mapping Coalition Hi Everyone, A national team of GIS experts have been collaborating on an open source, address-level, free broadband availability map -- the PA beta is now live h= ere: https://internetxplorer.org *** As you will quickly see, the map has information down to the address level = -- and it enables easy zooming to whichever level you're interested in (unlike= the FCC's map). *AND* we have also pointed out households that *should* be in t= he Fabric but are not (along with a bunch of highway mile markers that will ne= ed to be cleaned out -- an artifact of pulling locations from E911 databases). Mo= st of the Turquoise dots represent challenges that should have been made -- and t= here are areas in North Central and SW PA where there are thousands upon thousan= ds of households currently missing from the Fabric data. This map is freely and publicly available for non-commercial use, and it's = built with open source code -- so we'd welcome both collaborators, re-use by more states, inquiries from devs who want to help, as well as your feedback (the= re's a handy "reach out" link at the top of the map that'll e-mail the team). The dev team is particularly keen to accelerate additional features (e.g., drawing an arbitrary polygon and having it compute # of households, # & % unserved, # & % underserved; and mash-ups with demographic data from the 20= 20 census [which would enable the first-ever empirical look at de facto digita= l redlining]). Long story short, this was pulled together by an independent team because t= he country and state continues to misappropriate funding for disastrously unus= able broadband maps. We wanted to back up our critique by demonstrating what is possible. This particular map is purpose-built to show eligible areas for t= he PA Capital Project Fund RFP (coming out today), but it serves as an exemplar showing how feasible building an free and open, accessible, cheaper, and mo= re usable map actually is. I hope folks like it.
