Project Summary:
UVLSRPC has received funding to develop a regional broadband plan, as a member of the New Hampshire Broadband Mapping and Planning Program (NHBMPP). The NHBMPP is a joint project of the NH Regional Planning Commissions, NH GRANIT at the University of New Hampshire, and a variety of state agencies. The NHBMPP is funded through ARRA, through the Department of Commerce National Telecommunications and Information Administration.
Each of the Regional Planning Commissions will facilitate the creation of a Broadband Stakeholder Group whose activities will include: the identification of barriers to the deployment of broadband services; promoting collaboration with service providers to facilitate deployment and use; collecting and analyzing information on the use and demand for broadband services; and facilitating information sharing between the public and private sectors regarding use of and demand for broadband services.
