Support the Mapping Effort
LinkWYOMING relies heavily on the Internet Service Provider (ISP) community to provide valuable information on the
Wyoming broadband service footprint. Our goal is to comply fully with the requirements of the National Telecommunications and Information Administration as set forth in the State Broadband Data and Development Grant (SBDD) Program as we work with ISPs to present a realistic and informative view of Wyoming’s Broadband Inventory and Service Areas.
Under non-disclosure agreements, we ensure providers' data collected and shared via our online, interactive mapping tool will not compromise proprietary business information entrusted to us. Key infrastructure must also be masked with concern for public safety.

ISP Non-disclosure Agreement
Provider data is protected by a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) that aims to accomplish the objectives of the SBDD. If you are interested in reviewing a copy of the the NDA, please contact us at drop us an e-mail.
Note that we understand each ISP’s company policies vary, and we are willing to negotiate the terms of the NDA to meet specific provider needs as much as possible. We are, however, prohibited from making the NDA more restrictive than is allowed by NTIA’s SBDD program rules.

Data Collection
The LinkWYOMING Provider Survey is a web-based tool used to obtain provider data. Complete instructions are available for ISPs who wish to submit tabular data in the exact format specified by NTIA. An alternate submission path is also available for those providers who may be unable to produce a tabular format submission. In either case, we are here to help you.
If you have questions about provider data or the NDA, please please drop us an e-mail.
To review the survey and begin the data submission process, please visit our Wyoming Provider Portal.

Inclusion in the National Broadband Map
Per requirements and guidelines of the SBDD, the data collected for Wyoming maps is also provided to NTIA for inclusion in the national broadband map. Our first data submission to NTIA took place on March 31, 2010. Over 80 percent of Wyoming ISPs participated in this initial submission.
The second data submission, covering data through June 30, 2010, was forwarded to NTIA in October 2010. Subsequent submissions will be provided to NTIA bi-annually for inclusion in updated national maps.
