The Broadband Usage Data You Need for NOFA 2

Meet your broadband usage/availability data-reporting requirements, significantly cut proposal prep time, and independently verify broadband data you’ve collected elsewhere. ID Insight’s BroadBand Scout, the first national broadband usage database, affordably and effectively validates un-served and underserved areas, plus helps you defend your proposal from later challenges.

All you do is tell us the counties for which you need data and place your order. We deliver information directly to you ready to go. BroadBand Scout reports broadband connectivity, usage, and speed down to the Census Block level with a patent-pending survey method that blends metadata extracted from millions of online interactions with overlays of geo-demographic information and analytics.

ID Insight is currently licensing BroadBand Scout data to companies, states and communities that are preparing NOFA 2 applications for grant monies from the $7.2 billion broadband stimulus program. The data is available in reports summarized at the state, county, Census Tract, Census Group or Census Block levels.

We provide the following information:

Internet usage rate for that geography;
Internet usage rate for each type of connection (Cable, DSL, Wireless, T1, dial up, Satellite);
The top 15 carriers for each geography and market share;
Census demographics overall and for each carrier;
An estimate on the median speed of the connections; and
Research reports at the county level if requested.

While the majority of the usage we see is residential in nature, we also capture data on commercial activity. We can provide our proprietary wireless and satellite models for site location.

ID Insight is an independently owned and operated information services company committed to providing unbiased and accurate broadband information that helps you more clearly see the present, and plan the future of broadband in your communities.

Using its unique analytic approach, ID Insight can also provide case-by-case consulting services to predict additional high-potential expansion markets. Besides grant applicants, these services are valuable to broadband carriers looking for insights, validation and competitive advantage for their plans to serve new markets.
