Subject: Federal Communications Commission opens the Broadband Maps Bulk Data Challenge Process
Crystal,
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has recently opened the broadband bulk data challenge process to local governments. This is an important process for local governments to
engage in, as most of the funding in IIJA is required to be allocated by the data in the broadband maps.
The bulk challenge process is only available to certain parties right now, including local governments, to correct any faulty data that might be in, near or around their community. NLC
developed and published a blog article <http://link.quorum.us/f/a/UuEuyGOrhBifI2DBNOavmQ~~/AACYXwA~/RgRlMCvzP0RMaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubmxjLm9yZy9hcnRpY2xlLzIwMjIvMDkvMjEvZmNjLWJyb2FkYmFuZC1kYXRhLWNoYWxsZW
5nZS1wcm9jZXNzL1cDc3BjQgpjR_OmTWMxVEtlUhpjcnlzdGFsZUBzdHJhdGVnaWVzMzYwLmNvbVgEAAAAAA~~> , overviewing the challenge process and then outlining steps that local governments can take to
engage in the challenge process. There are many resources linked in the blog itself, including a video walkthrough demonstrating how an entity or individual submits a challenge and
the specific data requirements for a challenge submission.
This article can be shared as a resource for those who might find it useful. Please let me know if you have initial questions/concerns.
Sincerely,
