Program
National Broadband Map– http://broadbandmap.gov/
The purpose of this program is – To develop an easily read map that shows a
comprehensive picture of existing broadband service and
– To identify areas in the nation that do not have broadband service or are underserved

Selected API Statistics
When NTIA/FCC first looked, they saw 4:1 ratio of findProviderFeedbackbyBlock (#1 API usage) to findWireline (#2 API )
Wireline Search #1 used API – If usage was web only, expected 1:1 usage ratio
with wireless search– Actually see about 9:1 ratio
Overall, appears to be a minimum of 4:1 ratio of API usage to web consumption

Conclusion
Lesson learned: use APIs!
Next update scheduled for summer 2012 – Will use December 31, 2011 data (received by
NTIA/FCC in early April 2012)
