SURVEY RESULTS: Service Provider Filing Status and Issues with the Broadband Data Collection System

The September 1st deadline has passed for all facilities-based broadband providers to file their broadband coverage data in the FCC's Broadband Data Collection System (BDCS). We conducted a survey of broadband operators during the period from August 26th to September 1st to get an idea of how service providers were doing with the filing, including: whether they had completed their filing, whether they thought they would be able to complete it by the deadline, and what challenges, if any, they had with formatting or submitting their broadband coverage data. We received 41 responses from operators of various sizes. In this broadcast we will go over the aggregate results of the survey.
