Summary
For seven years now, the promotion of broadband expansion has been one of the core tasks of the Bavarian Surveying Authority. The broadband managers of the Offices for Digitisation, Broadband and Surveying advise the municipalities on funding programmes and closely accompany them in the funding process. The European Commission’s state aid rules set high standards with regard to the demarcation between eligible and non-eligible areas. In addition, the funding process must be transparent and fully documented. Consistent data maintenance is of central importance from the initial survey of the existing supply, through the consideration of the telecommunications companies’ own economic expansion plans and the subsequent award procedure, to the application for funding and the final documentation. The geodetic expertise of the broadband managers, in particular the secure handling of geodata, pays off in this respect. Products of the Bavarian Surveying Authority provide a uniform, high-quality data basis for all those involved in the broadband expansion and can accelerate the funding projects overall.
