citizen broadband inquiries, and a three-county pilot study. The pilot study conducted inWeld, Garfield, and Las Animas Counties included a survey intended to evaluate broadbandadoption barriers and the overall perception of broadband. Broadband pricing, awareness,and speed were a few of the issues identified in the study.
Further, a statewide web-based survey revealed that the internet is being utilized for a myriadof purposes, including obtaining public-sector services. Future broadband-related efforts willneed to tackle the important issues of whether capacity is sufficient to run desiredapplications and whether service is affordable enough to enable citizens to engage in orderto effectively develop and implement state policies.
The report also includes a market analysis to reveal information about the current marketcondition of the state and what may be inhibiting broadband deployment and adoption. Itlooks at the potential for developing Enterprise Zone-wide broadband deployments andpotential infrastructure that could be used to provide services to unserved areas. Finally, thetechnological, financial, adoption, and topographical hurdles to increased access and usageare examined.
Understanding the current broadband footprint is critically important however, capacity,adoption, and rural inequity issues deserve equal attention. Basic broadband speeds willallow certain applications to be utilized, but enhancing current infrastructure deployment inmany communities will certainly be necessary for residents to take advantage of importantonline services. Further, outreach and education campaigns are necessary to demonstrate tocitizens the importance of broadband to their everyday lives. Finally, policymakers will needto focus deployment efforts on those communities that lack even basic broadband coverage.
This project is only a starting point to help direct and target future broadband-related efforts,and OIT has been awarded approximately $2.1 million in American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act grant funds to continue its broadband data collection and mappingactivities and to help identify priority areas for activities to promote the deployment and useof broadband service.

INTRODUCTION
Broadband or high speed internet service has become increasingly critical in our 21st centurysociety and economy. Access to broadband provides communities with important tools toenhance their sustainable growth, support innovation and economic prosperity, and improvequality of life and social development. Broadband provides an infrastructure for delivering ahost of innovative applications and electronic services in the areas of health, education,government services, and business. Assuring that broadband is available to all citizens in alllocations (not only to those in densely populated areas) is necessary to preserve thefoundation on which Colorado and the nation have achieved success.
A myriad of opportunities exist and are created when broadband is available and adopted inboth urban centers and sparsely-populated communities. The technology allows for greater
student career exploration and personal growth by bringing highly qualified teachers andonline advanced, foreign language, and elective courses to rural areas that otherwise wouldnot have had these opportunities. Further, it enables patients in remote parts of the state toreceive specialized and home health care despite the lack of specialists and home healthproviders in their communities.
In the area of economic development, broadband service supports the ability for farmers touse GPS technology and computers to improve the efficiency of their planting operations. Inanother notable example, broadband connections have dramatically improved the marketingand sale of cattle, enabling online auctions that have provided ranchers with access to newmarkets. Further, broadband provides a sustainable infrastructure that supports on-goingeconomic development and affords people of all ages the opportunity to start businesses
that can flourish online and to use online technologies to operate more effectively.
In 2008 the Colorado General Assembly passed and Governor Bill Ritter signed into lawSenate Bill 215 calling for the development of a geographic inventory of broadbandavailability in Colorado to help broadband providers and policymakers better understand thecurrent availability of broadband service throughout the state. The resulting information isintended to provide the starting point for developing a strategy for broadband servicedeployment to the states unserved areas and to begin the discussion of how to increasebroadband adoption and usage in those areas that are currently served. Broadband mappingis widely viewed as the critical first step to greater broadband deployment and adoption, andthe legislation laid the foundation for the development of this important baseline data. SB08-
215 did not prescribe how broadband should be deployed rather, it sought an illustrativeway to help broadband providers and policymakers more clearly comprehend the availabilityof broadband service throughout the state.
The Governors Office of Information Technology (OIT) contracted with ConnectColorado, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Connected Nation (CN), for purposes ofidentifying the areas served by providers of broadband internet and unserved areas within

Colorado and to develop Geographic Information System (GIS) data and maps of suchareas.
Basic broadband for purposes of this report is defined as service of at least 768 kilobits persecond (kbps) downstream and at least 200 kbps upstream to the end user at the address
available. This definition has been adopted by the Federal Communications Commission(FCC) and the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) asthe minimum speed necessary for a service to be considered broadband. Further, broadbandcan be delivered over a variety of platforms, including:
Cable Modem
Digital Subscriber Line (DSL)
Fiber-Optic Cable (Fiber)
Fixed Wireless
Mobile Wireless
Satellite
The Connect Colorado contract included the following deliverables:
1. Geographic data set in vector format of broadband coverage in the state aligned withUS Census block boundaries and containing information on speed tiers andbroadband service technology platforms, including wireless and wireline, for eachcensus block.
2. Analysis of the population not currently served by broadband.
3. Set of maps depicting broadband service areas and population density in areas not
currently served by broadband. These maps can be found within this report andelectronically at www.colorado.gov/oit. It should be noted that OIT and CNmutually agreed to exclude satellite-provided broadband from the statewide andregional broadband maps. Satellite companies are capable of providing nearubiquitous coverage in Colorado, with only line of sight issues precluding the use ofthese services. For this reason, it was determined that visually depicting thisparticular platform was unnecessary.
4. Preliminary validation and verification of broadband data through a variety ofmechanisms including: interactive speed test web sites, investigation of available dataon provider services, and detailed field verification and resident interviews in threepilot areas in the state.
5. Market analysis and report describing barriers to deployment and adoption ofbroadband technologies based on data gathered in the project.
6. Interactive web map depicting broadband coverage that allows Colorado residents toenter their address and determine the providers at their address. The tool is locatedatwww.connectcolorado.org.

The ultimate findings and associated mapping artifacts provided to the State of Colorado atthe conclusion of the project depict a supply side scenario that is cause for cautiousoptimism amongst policymakers and citizens of the state. As measured by fifty-six (56) ofeighty-two (82) likely Colorado broadband providers (67.5 percent) who participatedvoluntarily in the Connect Colorado broadband mapping project, the Colorado broadband
inventory maps demonstrate that 97.53 percent of Colorado households have broadbandservice available of at least 768 kbps downstream and at least 200 kbps upstream to the enduser at the address available. This figure represents 1,617,322 Colorado households withbroadband service availability. This measure of households is based on household countsfrom the 2000 census.
Broadband service is considered available to an end user at an address if a broadband service provider does, or could, within a typical service interval (7 to 10 business days)without an extraordinary commitment of resources, provision two-way data transmission toand from the internet with speeds of at least 768 kbps downstream and at least 200 kbpsupstream. This definition provides important context for the figures stated above. Whilethese preliminary results are positive for the State of Colorado, they only reveal a segment of
the larger broadband landscape. There are additional aspects of broadband deployment thatneed to be considered before broader conclusions can be reached. Specifically:
Broadband Capacity: Basic broadband speeds of 768 kbps may not be sufficientfor some covered households to utilize internet applications and services which aremeaningful to them. While some applications run adequately on lower speeds, otherslike those that enable distance learning and telemedicine are increasingly requiringmore and more bandwidth.
Demand Side Analysis: Adoption and usage of broadband is a significant part ofthe equation. While this project primarily focused on the supply side of
broadband, broadband awareness and adoption is addressed to some extent later inthe report.
Urban vs. Rural: The statewide coverage figure can be misleading when it comes tothe rural areas of the state, where access to broadband is significantly lower than inurban areas. As demonstrated in the first table of Appendix A, only 0.04 percent ofDenver County households are unserved, which is not surprising given thepopulation density of this urban community. However, more rural counties such asCrowley, Custer, Dolores, Elbert, Hinsdale, Huerfano, Jackson, Las Animas, Lincoln,Mineral, Park, Rio Blanco, Saguache, San Juan and San Miguel all have unservedhousehold percentages greater than twenty. This data suggests the need for a more
granular, county-centric approach to identifying broadband deployment solutions.
Census Data: This project appropriately used the 2000 US Census1 to derivehousehold data in order to accurately align with the geographic data however, itshould be noted that based on 2008 population estimates the current householdcount is higher now than in 2000. The Colorado State Demography Office estimates

that Colorados population changed from 4,301,261 in 2000 to 5,011,390 in 2008, anincrease of 16.5 percent. This population increase could impact the overallbroadband availability findings.
This broadband mapping project was intended to produce baseline data of broadband
availability across the State of Colorado in order to begin the important dialogue of how toexpand broadband to unserved areas and increase adoption in those areas that havecoverage. While some preliminary market research and analysis of barriers to adoption wasincluded in the efforts of Connect Colorado, the primary goal of the project was to gatherbroadband data and provide visual depictions of service availability to:
Begin the development of effective policy strategies
Direct future initiatives, research, and exploration based on preliminary findings,such as the reported need for greater backhaul2 capacity and availability and
Ultimately spur broadband deployment and adoption activities.
This report describes the deliverables and the results of analyses performed by ConnectColorado to realize the goals laid out in SB08-215. It begins with a discussion of thedevelopment of the data representing broadband availability and continues with aconsideration of the analysis of the data through a variety of means and then a more detailedinvestigation of broadband delivery and use in three pilot areas of the state. It concludeswith a discussion of obstacles to broadband deployment and adoption uncovered during thisproject.
2The backhaul portion of the network comprises the intermediate links between the core, or backbone,
of the network and the small sub-networks at the "edge" of the entire hierarchical network. Visualizingthe entire hierarchical network as a human skeleton, the core network would be the spine, the backhaullinks would be the limbs, the edge networks would be the hands and feet, and the individual links withinthose edge networks would be the fingers and toes.

BROADBAND DATA COLLECTION,MAPPING, AND ANALYSIS
Broadband Data Collection Process
Connect Colorados broadband mapping process collected data directly from broadbandproviders in the state and converted this data to the format required by OIT. Part of thisprocess was the protection of confidential information in a setting of voluntary providerparticipation. SB08-215 required that OIT hire a contractor to collect and keep confidentialthe inventory data, thereby protecting the proprietary information and ensuring theparticipation of broadband service providers. Therefore, Connect Colorado executed non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) with each participating provider, establishing a legal andtechnical program that ensures full protection of broadband service providers confidential
and proprietary data necessary to complete the maps. To that end, Connect Coloradoincorporated the following process in the states mapping project:
Full public disclosure from the outset to state officials (program sponsors),providers, and the general public of the type and form of data that ConnectColorado would be releasing publicly and to any government authorities.
Execution of NDAs with broadband providers. These agreements clearly definehow each providers confidential information would be used and protected. Thedata that is protected via NDAs is limited to highly sensitive networkinfrastructure information, which is processed by Connect Colorado to
determine the broadband availability footprint and GIS maps. In particular, thespecifications of the network infrastructure and equipment, such as thefrequencies and beamwidth of wireless signals, latitude/longitude coordinates ofdigital subscriber line access multiplexers (DSLAMs), and the specifications offiber routes, remain confidential. The NDAs also protect the confidentiality ofprovider specific data.
Established a protocol for data transfer and processing that ensures maximumprotection of the confidential data held by Connect Colorado.
Established an IT-based secure system for data storage and hosting.
Connect Colorado was required to deliver data based on US Census blocks, which is thefinest unit of geography used by the US Census Bureau for its population counts. The USCensus Bureau uses a hierarchy of geographic units for enumerating and tabulatingpopulation and other demographic information. The units in this geographic scheme, inorder of relative size from smallest to largest, are blocks, block groups, tracts, and thencounties. This scheme is a fully nested hierarchy. In other words, a census block falls withinone and only one block group, and block groups contain aggregations of census blocks in

their entirety. Similarly, a block group falls within exactly one tract, and tracts consist ofaggregations of whole block groups. The graphic below illustrates the relationship betweenthese geographic units.
These units can vary significantly in size. In Colorado, census blocks can follow city blocksin urban areas, or they can be much larger in rural areas. They range in size from less than0.01 square miles to approximately 429 square miles, although the average size is 0.74 squaremiles. The process for delineating census blocks does not follow concrete rules. Rather it ismore of a heuristic process relying on input from local governments. The Census Bureautries to follow defined features (e.g., roads, streams, etc.) when delineating blocks, but thismay not always be appropriate. In rural areas, morphological features (e.g., ridge lines) maybe used at times.
The structure of the data set is outlined in Appendix B at the end of the report. For eachblock, Connect Colorado identified the following information:
Estimated number of household with broadband availability
Estimated number of households without any broadband availability
Highest broadband speed available based on FCC speed tiers
Availability of cable broadband
Availability of DSL broadband
Availability of fixed wireless broadband
Availability of mobile wireless broadband
Availability of other broadband
Population of the block
Estimated current population of the block
Connect Colorado worked with and received data from 56 providers or nearly 70 percent ofall likely broadband providers across the State of Colorado in developing the ConnectColorado broadband map in less than four months.

Broadband Data Processing Methodology
To create the aggregated broadband service inventory for the State of Colorado, ConnectColorado began with processing data from individual providers. Data was received in severaldifferent formats including ESRI shape files, CAD data, and spreadsheets. The data
primarily included information on service areas, but in some cases it contained infrastructureinformation from which service areas were inferred based on a coverage distance from theequipment suggested by the broadband providers. In the case of wireless providers, theequipment information was used in signal propagation models to determine service areas. After each providers broadband service areas were processed, a map of the providerscoverage was sent back to the provider for review and approval. If edits or other correctionswere required to ensure more accurate coverage representations, revisions were made to theGIS formatted data and revised maps of coverage were sent to the provider until approved,at which point the data was ready to be included in the statewide data inventory.
After obtaining or determining service areas for individual providers, Connect Coloradomerged the individual areas into statewide coverages of broadband service. These were thenoverlaid with census block data to identify the census blocks that received each type ofservice. If a census block touched or intersected an area corresponding to a service type, itwas identified as having received that type of broadband service. The census blocks werethen assigned the appropriate speed tier.
A full data set of census blocks was delivered to OIT in a format compatible with OITs GISsoftware allowing OIT to perform further analyses or mapping if desired.
Broadband Coverage Maps
In addition to the digital data, Connect Colorado produced several maps depicting
broadband availability, population density, and household density of areas not served bybroadband based on the collected and processed data. Statewide maps of broadbandavailability and population density, as well as maps depicting provider-reported maximumdownload speeds by census block, were developed. Connect Colorado also delivered similarmaps for each region delineated by the Department of Local Affairs (DOLA). The ConnectColorado maps are presented below.
When viewing the broadband technology platform maps, it should be noted that in areas where multiple broadband providers offer service, the maps stack the display layers forbroadband technology platforms in the following order, from top to bottom:
FiberCable
DSL
Fixed Wireless
Mobile Wireless
Unserved
10
-
8/14/2019 Colorado Broadband Mapping Project
12/84
That is, layers at the top of the stack cover lower layers. For example, in places where cableand DSL are both available, the map only shows cable service, which covers the DLS layer atthose locations.
Further, when viewing the download speed maps, it should be noted that mobile wireless
speeds are not included. Also, broadband speeds are displayed at the census block level, asopposed to the technology platform maps, which represent actual discrete broadbandavailability at a finer granularity based on the data from broadband providers. Therefore,there may be some discrepancy in the geographic depiction of the speed and coverageinformation in these two map sets.
Finally, although satellite-delivered broadband service is not depicted on the maps, it shouldbe noted that it is available throughout the state.
