SNG Tools
Online Impact Tracking Tool (OITT)
This online tool enables broadband proponents (project managers, economic development officers, etc.) to measure and track the impacts of their broadband network investments. The OITT collects data directly from network users to understand how households, businesses, and organizations use and benefit from broadband services.
Benefits from OITT: Hard data and findings on broadband's usage and benefits can inform stakeholders on the real impacts of their investments and initiatives, as well as provide insights for strategies and plans to maximize the positive effects of broadband for the community.
Broadband Market Analytics Tool (BMAT)

This online self-assessment tool is targeted to those who have already decided to take steps to bring broadband into their community and is designed to assess their readiness to successfully implement a broadband project.
