The landscape of broadband mapping has undergone a significant transformation with the introduction of the FCC’s National Broadband Map and the underlying Fabric database. These tools have revolutionized how we identify areas in need of broadband infrastructure, offering a more accurate and granular picture than the previous census block methods used in the former FCC Form 477 filings.

By providing detailed location data and service availability information, the new mapping system empowers communities, policymakers, and internet service providers to make data-driven decisions. This enhanced precision enables a more focused approach to deploying broadband resources, ensuring that funding is allocated to areas with the greatest need.

While the FCC’s new tools represent a substantial leap forward, it’s essential to acknowledge that the mapping process is ongoing. Achieving complete accuracy requires continuous refinement and input from the public. By helping ISPs comply with the BDC reporting requirements, Mission Broadband is playing a vital role in improving the map’s accuracy and ensuring that communities’ broadband needs are accurately reflected.
