Broadband & Associated Infrastructure Mapping Analysis Project (BAIMAP)

What is BAIMAP?
BAIMAP is a GIS application developed by Blue Sky Net which has access to broadband infrastructure data for Northern Ontario down to the property parcel level.

BAIMAP’s History.
It is has been a universal understanding for some time that access to high speed internet is essential for advancing our economy, quality of life and the sustainability of our communities. So why are there areas in Northern Ontario where high speed internet is not yet available to all our population?
 
In spite of the recognition of the need for better internet access, and the efforts of the private sector, Information Communication Technology Development organisations (ICTN’s) and provincial and federal funding programs, some areas remain un-served while others do not have the bandwidth capacity essential to serve the community needs. Due to low population densities, and environmental and geographic factors, private sector service providers have difficulty justifying the large investment necessary to extend basic service and increase the bandwidth capacity of their existing networks.
