This document discusses broadband infrastructure maps in several countries. It describes maps of broadband rollout in Australia and New Zealand. For Germany, it mentions an infrastructure atlas managed by the regulator Bundesnetzagentur and a Breitbandatlas maintained by TÜV Rheinland. In Great Britain, the regulator Ofcom collects data to make available in a UK Fixed Broadband Map. It also briefly discusses broadband mapping projects in Portugal, Lithuania, and Romania, as well as some failed EU-level initiatives.

• the Australian map entitled NBN Rollout Map, developed and maintained by the state
company of NBNCo, which constructs a wholesale broadband network in the whole
territory of Australia and Tasmania and is the operator of this network. The map is available at http://www.nbnco.com.au/rollout/rollout-map.html • New Zealand's map developed by a governmental organisation State Services Commission operating in the Ministry of Economic Development of New Zealand. The map has been transferred to koordinates.com, a private company managing the governmental geodesy and cartography. The map is available at http://koordinates.com/maps/BroadbandMap/collections As far as European systems are concerned, stocktaking exercises in Germany and in Great Britain are worth mentioning. In Germany, telecommunications undertakings have submitted information about their infrastructure and planned investments to the Ministry of Economy since 2005. The system in the form of an atlas entitled Infrastrukturatlas, managed by the federal regulator Bundesnetzagentur is available at: http://www.bundesnetzagentur.de/DE/Sachgebiete/Telekommunikation/Infrastrukturatlas/infr astrukturatlas_node.html Maps and visualisations of coverage with broadband access broken down into data flow capacities and individual access technologies are available on the special web page of the Federal Ministry of Science and Technology launched in 2010, maintained as a Breitbandatlas on geolocation layers provided by TÜV Rheinland, a German group of certifying companies running quality and safety audits. The atlas is available at http://www.breitbandatlas.de In Great Britain, the regulator - Ofcom collects data from operators with significant market power (other operators and access service providers may submit data on a voluntary basis), making them available in the form of a UK Fixed Broadband Map. The map with data from the previous year is available at http://maps.ofcom.org.uk/broadband/ In Portugal, the CIS scheme was developed by the regulator - ICP-ANACOM pursuant to the amendment of the Telecommunications Law of 2009. A similar project, entitled E- infrastruktūra, is being launched by the Lithuanian regulator RRT, and the Romanian regulator ANCOM is also planning to develop a system. The EU projects related to the mapping of broadband access and telecommunications infrastructure resources, such as Bottom-up Broadband and Broadband Mapping Initiative have not reached beyond introductory stage. As part of the second initiative, TÜV Rheinland conducted a survey on broadband access maps in the EU. The results of the survey are to serve as a basis for a short report on the European projects on access maps. Meanwhile, the Working Group NaN operating within CEPT (the European Conference of Postal and Telecommunications Administrations), an organisation which coordinates the regulation of postal and telecommunications markets in Europe, is focusing on numbering and network issues. TRIS project team focused, on technical issues related to regulation, including the mapping of network infrastructure, is one of the project teams (PT) of the WG NaN. UKE actively participates in the TRIS debates sharing the Polish experience regarding the mapping of telecommunications infrastructure with its partners.
