AbstractBroadband Internet Mapping of Downtown San Diego for Bandwidth Bay Track: Telecommunications Author(s): Andrew G Abouna Downtown San Diego is one of the most "wired" cities in the United States, with more than 70,000 miles of broadband backbone and end user fiber optic and copper cable. The ability to connect to such a comprehensive broadband network can be an important factor considered by businesses or potential new residents when relocating. Charged with providing information and outreach on the virtues of locating to downtown, the Bandwidth Bay project is providing information about the area's broadband network. A project partner, the City of San Diego, has developed an interactive, ArcIMS Internet mapping application for viewing, querying, and printing key information about downtown and the broadband network. The result is a more complete picture of the broadband infrastructure and opportunities in downtown San Diego.
