To build a digital future for everyone, the FCC under Chairwoman Rosenworcel implemented the Broadband DATA Act, resulting in the most accurate broadband availability data to date. This location-by-location data is publicly available on the National Broadband Map and is continually refined through challenges from stakeholders and FCC verification efforts. This ongoing process ensures the map is constantly improving, informing our work to connect everyone with high-speed broadband.
