About FCC Fabric Licensing

CostQuest is contracted by the Federal Communications Commission to provide the Fabric data to support the FCC’s Broadband Data Collection and select funding programs. This data can be accessed through the FCC Fabric License Tiers – 1, 2, 3, 4. This framework has been designed to support the objectives of the FCC’s programs requiring the use of the Fabric data. These programs include the Broadband Data Collection, the National Broadband Map, National Broadband Funding Map, and ACP and USF obligations. If your organization currently participates in these listed programs, the FCC Fabric license may support these activities, in accordance with the terms of the License Agreement.
