Federal Communications Commission 20101101 BROADBAND AVAILABILITY IN FLORIDA vector digital data State of Florida http://www.broadband.gov/maps/availability.htm This dataset is based on data from a variety of public and commercial sources and represents the Federal Communications Commission's best estimate today on the availability of broadband service that meets the National Broadband Availability Target and the finances associated with providing all homes access to broadband service that meets the target. The data was created to serve as base information for use in GIS systems for a variety of planning and analytical purposes. The methodology used to create the maps of availability relies on statistical methods to fill-in data that are otherwise not available. Please see Chapter 2 of The Broadband Availability Gap , a Technical Paper published as part of the Omnibus Broadband Initiative, for more information. By definition, the output of any statistical model includes a margin of error - in this case, a possibility of over-stating or under-stating availability in any small geography. Aggregating results up to the county level, as in these maps, will mitigate but not eliminate the impact of the statistical predictions. Because these maps are based, in part, on statistical modeling of broadband availability, they should not be used as a definitive resource for broadband availability in any specific county. Maps showing the Broadband Investment Gap or Ongoing Support are based in part on the data for availability of broadband service that meets the Availability Target. See The Broadband Availability Gap for more information. Because of the reliance on a statistical model for availability data, these financial estimates may over- or under-state the funding shortfall in any small geography. Over time, the Commission plans to improve data collection and mapping of broadband availability. In addition, the Commission is working with the NTIA and state grantees under the Broadband Data Improvement Act to develop a detailed interactive map of the availability of 768 kbps service that will provide more granular geographic availability information for consumer use. The first (full) version of this National Broadband Map will be made public in early 2011. 20101101 publication date Complete As needed -87.639385 -79.872251 31.042641 24.480328 None Broadband None Florida None The Florida Geographic Data Library is a collection of Geospatial Data compiled by the University of Florida GeoPlan Center with support from the Florida Department of Transportation.

A note about data scale: Scale is an important factor in data usage. Certain scale datasets are not suitable for some project, analysis, or modeling purposes. Please be sure you are using the best available data. 1:24000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the county level. 1:24000 data should NOT be used for high accuracy base mapping such as property parcel boundaries. 1:100000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the multi-county or regional level. 1:125000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the regional or state level or larger. Vector datasets with no defined scale or accuracy should be considered suspect. Make sure you are familiar with your data before using it for projects or analysis.

The GeoPlan Center acquired this dataset from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection GIS Division. This dataset was previously released in FGDL Version 3 (released July 2000), and there was an error in the eastern border of Polk County/ western border of Osceola. The border has been corrected and updated for this new version of the dataset. GeoPlan unknown The originating agencies created the original spatial coverage. GeoPlan, during the QA/QC process included the following aspects: - Reprojected data to FGDL Albers - Set Precision to DOUBLE - Set Tolerances to FGDL Standards. - Changed DADE county name to MIAMI-DADE GeoPlan 20000101 GeoPlan corrected Hernando and Sumter County boundaries in September 2004. GeoPlan 20040901 Dissolved layer based on county name in order to convert single part shapes to multipart shapes. This reduced the polygon count to 67. In addition, deleted small island polygons that had name Franklin but were located on the western border of Wakulla County. GeoPlan 20080612 GeoPlan downloaded the broadband availability data in spreadsheet format from (http://www.broadband.gov/maps/availability.htm) on 11/10/2010. The spreadsheet was converted from XL to DBF and joined to the FGDL county boundary shapefile. Original XL was named Florida_NationalBB.xls - Upcased on fields in the table - Added DESCRIPT based on PCTSERVED - Added FGDLAQDATE based on date acquired from source - Renamed shape to bbcov_nov10 GeoPlan 20101110 Vector GT-polygon composed of chains 67 NAD 1983 HARN Florida GDL Albers 24.0 31.5 -84.0 24.0 400000.0 0.0 coordinate pair 0.0001 0.0001 meter D North American 1983 HARN GRS 1980 6378137.0 298.257222101 BBCOV_NOV10 BBCOV_NOV10.DBF FCC OBJECTID Internal feature number.

NAME County name PCTSERVED Percentage of Housing Units with 4 Mbps Broadband Availability (PctServed). The percentage of housing units with available download speed of at least 4 mbps FCC GAP Broadband Investment Gap (Gap). The gap for each county in the country. The gap in each county is calculated by adding the gap of all census blocks in that county. Since most counties have at least some census blocks with an investment gap (i.e., areas where the NPV less than 0), most counties have an investment gap. Census blocks with a positive NPV (i.e., blocks where the gap is negative) offset losses in census blocks that are NPV negative. Thus, counties can have no gap if they are currently fully served (i.e., have no unserved), or if the total NPV in the county is positive. Note that dark blue counties have a gap at least 20 times higher than the gap in the light green counties. FCC GAPPERHU Broadband Investment Gap per Housing Unit (GapPerHU). Examining the gap per housing unit highlights counties where the average gap per home is particularly high. This calculation simply takes the total gap in each county, and divides by the number of unserved housing units in that county. FCC LOWCOSTTEC Gap per Housing Unit by Lowest Cost Technology (LowCostTech). FCC ONGOINGSUP Ongoing Support for Each Housing Unit (OngoingSup). This shows the distribution of counties requiring ongoing support across the country. Ongoing support is the monthly annuity required per unserved housing unit to offset ongoing losses (i.e., the amount by which ongoing costs exceed revenues assuming the network buildout is paid for in its entirety). FCC UNSERVEDHU Number of Housing Units Without Access to 4 Mbps Broadband (UnservedHU). This map shows the absolute number of housing units without access to 4 Mbps download, 1 Mbps upload broadband service. Note that even counties with a high percentage of served homes can have large absolute numbers of unserved housing units, particularly if the area is dense; and counties with a low percentage of served homes, if sparsely populated, may not have a large number of unserved housing units.
