• Citizen speed tests taken on home computers and mobile devices.
• Results are date/time/geo-location stamped and stored.
• Broadband project planning is data-driven to meet needs and
prevent overbuilding.
• Data allows accountability - analyze if deployments/grant
programs are meeting expectations…..including existing providers.
• Local officials / grant administrators can interactively determine
the impacts of their programs and intended targets in real-time,
without relying on FCC’s outdated historical maps.
• Local, State and Federal officials can show how wisely and
effectively broadband investments are made with taxpayer dollars.
