ITD North Dakota -- Broadband Grant

Greetings,

North Dakota, along with the other 49 states and 5 territories, is working
on a project to map broadband services in the state to increase broadband
access and adoption through enhanced data collection and planning. The
North Dakota Information Technology Department (ITD) is overseeing the
planning and mapping project and needs your assistance in completing the
statewide evaluation.

Citizens and businesses are encouraged to participate in one of two ways:
1. From your home or business, log into the Speed Test Site located on
ITD’s website at http://www.nd.gov/itd/ to capture the speed of your
internet connection; or
2. Anyone who does not have broadband internet service available at
their home or business, should report their location by calling the toll
free number 1-877-811-0471.

Funding for the project is provided by the U.S. Department of Commerce’s
National Telecommunications Infrastructure Administration (NTIA) under its
State Broadband Data and Development Program. The data collected from
states will be displayed on NTIA’s national broadband map, a tool policy
makers can use to plan for employment, education, and broadband services.

Public Information, or Dirk Huggett, Project Manager, at (701) 328-3190.

Thank you for participating in this statewide project.
