Great news from D.C.: the government is doing the right thing with broadband mapping.
The grants announced today go to entities in four states, California, Indiana, Vermont, and North Carolina.
The NTIA said that each of the successful applications showed that the state and the agencies were working together, were going to provide verifiable data and not just rely on the telcos for self-reporting, and had resources equal to one-quarter of the grant money received, in an 80/20 grant/cash match.
