Broadband Planning & Assistance
The New Hampshire Broadband Mapping and Planning Program (NHBMPP) offers broadband planning and technical assistance to a wide range of groups and organizations located throughout the state. The goals are simple… to assist schools, libraries, healthcare providers, small businesses, municipalities, communities, non-profits and others:
- to assess their broadband needs;
- to develop plans for obtaining affordable broadband access;
- to realize the opportunities available with broadband; and
- to provide technical assistance and training to leverage the advantages of broadband connectivity
What we are doing….
Regional and State Planning – establishing broadband stakeholder groups that will focus on collecting and analyzing relevant information, identifying barriers to broadband deployment, promoting collaboration with service providers, and facilitating information sharing. In addition, developing regional broadband plans that will be aggregated into a state plan.
Technical Assistance and Training – working to assess broadband technical needs of stakeholder groups; developing tools and learning modules; and delivering technical assistance and training for stakeholder groups.
Capacity Building – developing tools to assist communities in their development of broadband projects; and developing broadband best practices pertaining to Policy Management, Financial Resources, Advocacy for Business and Residential Broadband.
