Broadband Map Making in California-What does it Signal for a National Broadband Mapping Initiative?
Michael Byrne, GIO of California commented that it took CA 1.5 years to get their broadband map in place. For the Federal broadband initiative where August 14 is the deadline for grants and November when the first maps are to be sent to the FCC and NTIA, time is getting short. Said Burn, "It wasn’t technical; it was cultural to get all the right relationships in place." This issue of relationship-building is still the most common problem at the state level…getting people to share data…and get their act together.
