OK BEAD Network Expansion Territories (NETs) Request for Information (RFI)

Thank you to those who participated in the RFI process! The Oklahoma Broadband Office received approximately 500 submissions during the Request for Information window. Information from those submissions were used to develop the best design for NETs to increase demand to serve all homes and businesses.

The Oklahoma Broadband Office issued the Request for Information to improve the proposed Network Expansion Territory boundaries, which the OBO will utilize to make BEAD awards. The office sought feedback from interested parties on 8 topics: which locations belong within which NETs, accurate Net Present Values (NPV) for each NET, severing NETs to make them more economically feasible, an eligible entities interest in applying for certain NETs, an eligible entities partial interest in applying for certain NETs, NETs that an eligible entity considers non-viable, combining multiple NETs, or other.

Below are links to the final NET files. These files show the NET Boundaries, BEAD Eligible Locations within each NET, the NET ID, cumulative NPV for each NET and the BSL ID for each eligible location. BEAD applicants may download the CSV data, KMZ, or ESRI Shapefiles that correspond to the map which include the data points previously mentioned.

  • File containing a list of net IDs and their estimated NPVs: final_ok_nets.csv
  • Shapefile containing boundaries of all NETs (ESRI Shapefile format): final_ok_nets.zip
  • Shapefile containing boundaries of all NETs (KMZ format for Google Earth): final_ok_nets.kmz
  • File containing a list of locations that are eligible as Broadband Serviceable Locations (BSLs), with their associated NET IDs (Some of these locations are also considered Community Anchor Institutions): final_ok_locations.csv
  • File containing list of locations that are ONLY eligible as Community Anchor Institutions (CAIs), with their associated NET ID: final_ok_cais.csv
