LightBox Releases Internet Connectivity Map

LightBox released its nationwide internet connectivity map, showing that nearly 1 in 6 Americans is not connected to the Internet as well as 60 million Americans nationwide. This new map layers the location of approximately two billion Wi-Fi access points on top of LightBox’s national Broadband Serviceable Location Fabric, which details the precise geospatial extent, address(es), occupancy classification, and number of business or dwelling units for structures across the United States. Through this granular location fabric and geospatial expertise, combined with internet service provider data on broadband serviceable locations, LightBox could produce a nationwide broadband connectivity map that would offer the precise analysis of true accessibility. The map displays a nationwide view of internet connectivity rates across the country, aggregated at the Census tract level; interested parties may contact LightBox for access to the complete map, which shows data down to each location.
