Description: <DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>"This dataset serves as the foundation for the Connect America Fund Broadband Map (CAF Map), an interactive online map that shows the impact of the Connect America Fund (CAF) on broadband expansion to close the digital divide in rural America. The CAF Map displays the geographic areas that are eligible for CAF support, as well as the specific fixed locations where carriers participating in the program have built out mass-market, high-speed Internet service. The dataset includes address, latitude and longitude coordinates, carrier name, filing year and minimum speeds offered for every location where CAF-supported service is available. The information in this dataset comes directly from carriers, which submit broadband deployment data annually through USAC’s High Cost Universal Broadband (HUBB) portal showing where they have built out service using CAF funding. The current CAF Map is based on data certified in the HUBB as of September 30, 2023. USAC independently verifies deployment to a random sample of locations reported in the HUBB each year to monitor carrier compliance with CAF build-out obligations."</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>Description/Summary source: https://www.opendatanetwork.com/dataset/datahub.usac.org/r59r-rpip</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>This data was downloaded from USAC's Connect America Fund Broadband Map (CAF Map) on 12/04/2023.</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>CAF Map: https://data.usac.org/publicreports/caf-map/</SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV>
