Greater Des Moines Partnership Unveils Broadband User Dashboard Maps

The Greater Des Moines Partnership and regional partners have unveiled Broadband User Dashboard Maps based on data and research from the Central Iowa Broadband Internet Study. The maps were created as a part of a long-term goal to create a framework under which governments, the public, and providers can align in new and innovative ways to create solutions to the digital divide present in Greater Des Moines (DSM). The Broadband User Dashboard Maps outline a path where technology would be best matched to the varying demographics of the region to create the most cost-efficient and highest impact solutions in each area across the region. Each map highlights a key component of the overall deployment process — outlining demographics, technology plans, infrastructure deployment costs, and site assessment.
