Governmental Broadband Advisory
Building and maintaining a successful broadband funding program requires a granular understanding of the served and unserved and, ultimately, the investment needed to reach those unserved. CostQuest builds broadband maps, cost models, and provides advisory services for funding program design. We’d happily share detail on our efforts at the state, regional, and national levels.

Telecom Capital Advisory
Capital decisions don’t just impact today—they shape the future. As an independent third party, we partner with clients to efficiently deploy capital, uncover opportunities, mitigate risks, prepare strategic investments, expand network footprints, assess competitive positions, and navigate financial reporting for profitable results now and in the future.
Address Matching & Georeferencing
CostQuest can match your service (provisioning) addresses to Broadband Serviceable Locations (BSLs). Our matching processes can be used in federal and state regulatory filings, and to support better billing, provisioning, service qualification, and other service provider use cases. We also support broadband providers with other location-based filings supporting High Cost Universal Broadband (HUBB) and Rural Digital Opportunity Fund (RDOF) build-outs.
Broadband consulting achievements over the years:
- Created the model used by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to distribute over $3B annually to deploy broadband access to high-cost areas.
- Valued over $1T in network infrastructure assets for Tier 1 providers.
- Provided national cost models to the National Telecommunications Information Administration (NTIA) to support the distribution of $42.5B for the Broadband, Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) funding program.
- Created the first ever location-level dataset focused on pinpointing the exact geographic location of serviceable consumer structures that require broadband services. We were awarded the FCC’s Broadband Serviceable Location Fabric data contract to help the FCC solve location accuracy issues related to broadband coverage reporting and support the FCC’s new Broadband Data Collection reporting and National Mapping processes.
- The Location Fabric data is now the industry standard dataset to track broadband service availability, distribute deployment funding, and track progress on funding initiatives.
