FCC updates National Broadband Map

The FCC released an updated version of its location-based national broadband map.

The FCC finds that more than 8.3 million U.S. homes and businesses lack access to high-speed broadband. 

On net, the improvements to the map since November helped to identify nearly 330,000 more unserved locations.

The FCC mapping team has reviewed challenges to availability data for more than 4 million locations. Over 75% of those challenges have already been resolved and the majority have led to updates in the data on the map showing where broadband is available. At the same time, the new map also reflects a net increase of more than one million new serviceable locations, as compared to the November 2022 pre-production draft.
