The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) recently began collecting first-hand accounts on broadband internet availability and service quality from consumers as part of its Broadband Data Collection program. The data collected will assist the FCC in identifying consumers that are directly affected by a lack of access to broadband and will help inform their mapping efforts and future decisions about where services are needed. A new FCC webpage, www.fcc.gov/BroadbandData, explains the data collection program and provides resources for consumers. There’s a “share your broadband experience” option on the Broadband Data Collection website for consumers to share their experience with the availability and quality of broadband services at their location. Fairview residents experiencing a lack of broadband availability and/or service quality issues are encouraged to share their experiences with the FCC.
