Delaware’s Broadband Mapping Project- A resource to help your business!
In mid-December 2009, the state of Delaware was awarded funds to research and publish broadband options for its citizens. Governor Jack Markell designated the Department of Technology and Information (DTI) as the agency to receive, apply and implement the funds, according to the guidelines and mandates of the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA).
In 2010, the broadband mapping portion of this program was initiated by DTI, consisting of data collection, the development of a statewide broadband availability map, transmission of that data to NTIA for the development of its national broadband map, and the long-term maintenance of this data by the state.
