The Broadband Deployment Council seeks to position Illinois as America’s leading broadband technology state by working to improve the cost and speed of advanced network services.

 

Some of the Council’s recent accomplishments include:

 

  1. Issuing a set of recommendations in the area of broadband policy, infrastructure, and consumer demand.
  2. Hosting the 10th Annual National Rural Telecom Congress conference in Springfield
  3. Organizing the Deaf Broadband Access Task Force for citizens with disabilities seeking affordable broadband service
  4. Drafting the The Illinois Children's Low-Cost Laptop Act (HB5000) to increase student computer use and demand for broadband service
  5. Helping the Illinois Rural HealthNet secure $21,000,000 from the FCC to create a statewide telehealth network
  6. Starting the Vince DeMuzio Rural Broadband Pilot Project in Macoupin-Montgomery Counties
  7. Supporting the ConnectSI regional effort to improve broadband technology options in the southernmost 20 counties of Illinois
  8. Creating wireless networks with the Illinois Main Street Program in Belleville, Carbondale, Mt. Vernon & Quincy. Funding community wireless networks in Aledo, Kankakee, Metropolis, Pekin, Urbana and Shelbyville.

The above map includes the latest broadband data collected by the Illinois Commerce Commission.  Providers reported availability of service by either zip code or exchange (their choice), so the map does not reveal instances where part of a zip code or exchange is not served). 

However, it does reflect areas with access only to satellite or non-traditional (e.g. wireless) Internet services.  We hope this map can help with the process to collect more granular and comprehensive data, and indicate roughly which areas are unserved or underserved.
