This map represents FCC data in terms of broadband service for the purpose of enabling bidders to better estimate their project costs in providing service to locations not having broadband services as defined by the FCC.
At the census block level, it represents blocks that have been deemed eligible for assistance from the Rural Digital Opportunity Fund auction and their respective 'best service available,' as listed by the FCC. The map also includes reserve prices at the census block group level, as well as the number of eligible sites within the block group. Existing structure, transmission lines, substation, and tower data are also included, as well as legislator information. The map also includes measuring tools to assist in estimating.
Penn State Extension is working hard to raise awareness of Broadband need within Pennsylvania and to provide bidders and legislators with information related to Broadband. If you have questions about how to use the map or about Broadband within Pennsylvania, please contact Harry Crissy.
This online course will help you understand how Pennsylvania local governments work, explore ways you can become involved, and explain how to run for office.
