Colorado is challenging 13,000 speed inaccuracies in the new federal broadband map

A federal effort to map out and better understand who in America has decent internet and who does not is already getting challenged by those in the know, including the Colorado Broadband Office, which has submitted 13,000 challenges of the data. The map is just two weeks old. And the state isn’t done challenging the data collected by the Federal Communications Commission, said Brandy Reitter, executive director of the state’s broadband office. “Thirteen thousand is a lot but likely doesn’t include all missing locations,” Reitter said. “We are still submitting locations that are missing and not accurate to the FCC. Most of what is missing is located in higher-density areas of the state that have experienced the most growth over the last several years. We will keep identifying these locations until the FCC maps are accurate. It’s an ongoing process.”
