The FCC has released a draft Report and Order and Second Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking aimed at collecting more accurate broadband deployment data and producing more precise broadband maps. In the Report and Order, the FCC creates the Digital Opportunity Data Collection, a new initiative distinct from the Form 477 process, which will require all fixed broadband providers to submit coverage polygons depicting the areas where they actually provide service. The FCC also adopts a process to begin collecting public input on the accuracy of service providers’ broadband deployment data. The FCC expects to vote to adopt the item during its August 1st open meeting.
