The FCC Needs Your Internet Speed to Improve Broadband Data

The FCC Needs Your Internet Speed to Improve Broadband Data In an effort to fix the Federal Communications Commission s misleading broadband coverage data, the agency is asking the public to download and use its new speed test app. Shutterstock/FlashMovie It s not every day that using an application on one s phone can potentially help public policy. The Federal Communications Commission is now promoting its speed test apps so that it can improve the information in its high-speed Internet coverage maps, which are used to distribute broadband funds to local areas and states.   The announcement about the speed apps, which are available for both Android and Apple devices, came Monday. Acting FCC Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel said the information gathered through this initiative will contribute to a comprehensive, user-friendly data set on broadband availability.  

South Carolina ranks 31st in broadband funding distribution

Share New analysis from a satellite internet and television research company found that South Carolina ranks 31st in the country in funding support per resident in Phase 1 distribution of the Rural Digital Opportunity Fund dollars. The Federal Communications Commission allocated $9.2 million to telecom and broadband companies in 49 states to expand broadband in rural America in unserved areas from October to November 2020. The framework for the fund, which will award $20.4 million during a 10-year period, was established in January 2020, and Phase II will cover partially served areas and other locations not funded in Phase 1.   A timetable for Phase II has not yet been announced.
