How to Fix the FCC’s Fabric Map (and why it matters)

National Broadband Resource Hub

Virtual Event

A discussion on how local and state governments can engage with the Federal Communications Commission’s Fabric Challenge Process.

The FCC’s national broadband map hinges on a fabric of “broadband serviceable locations” on top of which providers report service availability . Fixing inaccuracies in the initial versions of the FCC’s map will be vital to accurately distributing broadband funding from the infrastructure bill.

This webinar will demonstrate how state and local officials can access the location data and submit bulk challenges before the next provider reporting window.
