Connected Tennessee, an independent non-profit organization on a mission to make technology costs go down and the ease of doing business in Tennessee go up, have just released a map showing the average download speeds for each county within Tennessee. This map, the first of its kind in the nation, was created as part of a study to give Broadband Internet providers and state policy makers better information on which counties need higher quality Internet service. This could prove to be a good thing for TN counties by attracting the attention of ISP’s to poor service areas within the state. ISP’s now know where these “poor spots” are and will be working harder than ever to create better coverage in these specific areas. This can only help Local Governments provide more online services to their communities such as GIS mapping and online tax payments, etc. while connecting internal agencies to create a better business environment and promote economic development.
