Promoting Broadband for Anchor Institutions
and their Communities
Additional Policy Issues
There are many different aspects of anchor institution broadband. Accordingly, SHLB has weighed in a wide-range of issues. Read below to learn more about SHLB's position in regards to Broadband Planning and Mapping, Spectrum, Municipal Broadband, and the 2016 Presidential Election.
BROADBAND PLANNING & MAPPING
Conducting an inventory of the locations and speeds of existing broadband networks for anchors – and identifying gaps in broadband coverage – can help target investments to areas most in need. That's why SHLB urges policymakers to gather detailed, granular information about the availability and use of high-capacity broadband services needed, rather than relying on outdated or generic claims that an area is already served by existing providers.
