Claim 13:
14. A system for managing a telecommunications network, the system comprising:
a database storing site information of a plurality of sites connected to a network, the site information comprising, for each site of the plurality of sites, a geospatial location and at least one source key corresponding to a type of connection between the site and network; and
a network computing device in communication with the database and for:
generating a network site footprint for a geographic region, the network site footprint comprising a subset of the plurality of sites connected to the network associated with a connection type to the telecommunications network;
classifying each of the plurality of sites without the connection type based on a number of network source keys associated with a corresponding site of the plurality of sites;
intersecting one or more buildable subgroups, each defining geospatial boundaries of a contiguous build area of the connection type and each having a subset of the plurality of sites, with geospatial locations of a plurality of sites without the connection type of the network, the geospatial locations of the plurality of sites without the connection type being within one of the one or more buildable subgroups; and
generating a telecommunications build plan for providing the connection type to at least one of the plurality of sites without the connection type based on the intersection of the one or more buildable subgroups with geospatial locations of a plurality of sites without the connection type.
