FCC Map Challenge Survey – Broadband Funding Allocation

IMPORTANT and URGENT! PLEASE ACT BY JAN 13th FOR BROADBAND FUNDING ALLOCATION

Residents and businesses need to challenge the FCC allocation map by the upcoming deadline to ensure Indiana communities are granted appropriate funding for broadband infrastructure. 

Access to broadband internet is a key topic in communities across the United States. The FCC will be distributing $700 million dollars for this infrastructure in late 2023/early 2024, prioritized by need.  The FCC National Broadband map will be used to determine this need.  The information currently contained in this map was submitted by broadband providers and reported to be quite inaccurate by representatives throughout the Region 3-A service area. Please take the time to challenge locations in your community and encourage your friends and neighbors to do the same – an accurate map is imperative to receiving funding.
