Abstract:
The New Hampshire Community Anchor Institutions (CAI) dataset
includes data on broadband availability at almost 4,000
institutions in the state. Data was collected for 7 categories
of institutions as defined by the National Telecommunications
and Information Administration (NTIA), including schools (K-12),
libraries, medical/health care facilities, public safety,
university/college/other post-secondary, other community support
institutions-government, and other community support institutions-
nongovernmental.
The data set includes the status of broadband availability at each
entity, the type of technology delivering broadband service, and the
speed of service (down/up). It was generated from information
collected by the nine regional planning agencies in NH from the
individual institutions, initially via phone and/or email, and
subsequently via web-based inventories, and represents broadband
availability as of September 30, 2014.
Extracts of the data set have been produced for incorporation in various
GRANIT online viewing tools. These extracts typically include only
the name, address, and type of institution, and do not include the
broadband availability information that is part of the full data set.
Data collection and analyses was supported by the NTIA under the
American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA). See
