Allen Foster - Cumberland County Mayor
UPDATE The State has removed the map for a few days to make a couple of necessary updates. A provider found a significant error with some of the data they had provided.It will be up and running next week - as soon as the GIS team at Connected Nation gets it updated. The State is extending the public comment period and has put a note on the website explaining that the map is down for a few days. THIS WILL LIKELY RESULT IN YOU HAVING TO RECHECK YOUR DATA! I will make a new post when that happens.THIS IS IMPORTANT! You have likely taken several broadband surveys over the last few years and can see the progress being made around our county. Even if you do not have broadband yet, there are likely broadband providers looking to find ways to service your area. These providers need accurate maps that show broadband availability in order to receive grants to help offset the costs associated with running fiber. That is where YOU come in. We need everyone to click the link below, enter your address, and verify the accuracy of service. There is a link provided to report inaccurate service listings. We know there are inaccurate listings that need to be corrected. It is up to each of you to help correct those listings. If you live in an area with poor service and don't take the time to check these maps, it will severely impact the ability of providers to service your area with good broadband service. Click this link to check your address:https://gis.connectednation.org/.../webappv.../index.html...DO NOT REPORT INCORRECT INFORMATION HERE OR IT WILL NOT HELP IN THIS PROCESS. You must leave your feedback with the State of Tennessee in the link provided. The link to report incorrect information is at the bottom of the box used to locate provider(s) by address. If you don't see it, here is a direct link:https://gis.connectednation.org/.../GeoForm/index.html...Again, the accuracy of this map is up to each of us. That is important as the map will be used for future grant opportunities. Now is your opportunity to make a difference.
Thank you.
Allen
