Connected Nation Applauds FCC’s Proposal to Direct Broadband Funds Using National Broadband Map

Washington, DC – The following is a statement from Connected Nation in response to today’s USF reform proposal by the FCC to use the national broadband map to determine unserved areas eligible for USF funds.

“The FCC's proposal to distribute broadband support subsidies to unserved areas identified on the national broadband map is a landmark development that will help bring broadband to all Americans.

Connected Nation has been working with states and the NTIA to make the national broadband map a comprehensive, accurate, and transparent tool for policymakers and the public. We look forward to working with the FCC, NTIA, and our states to maintain a high standard of excellence in developing and cultivating this unprecedented data resource.”
