Mississippi's Office of the Governor and broadband mapping firm BroadMap have announced that they plan to work together to collect and verify the availability, speed and location of high-speed Internet access across the state.
Mississippi is working with BroadMap, the nonprofit One Economy Corporation and with assistance from public policy firm New America Foundation to develop a map enabling state residents and businesses to better understand their options related to broadband. The National Telecommunications and Information Administration recently awarded Mississippi approximately $2 million in grants for broadband mapping and related strategy.
