Better Broadband Maps: States Can Submit Their Own Data

This new law allows states to temporarily submit their own, more accurate broadband coverage data. This means funding for internet development can be better directed to areas that truly need it, accelerating access to high-speed internet for more citizens.
Key points
States can submit their own broadband coverage data if it's superior to federal data.
Better data will help in more effective spending of funds for broadband development.
This provision is temporary, lasting until the Commission creates its own accurate maps.
