CostQuest is contracted by the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) to provide the Fabric data to support specific federal funding programs. This data can be accessed through the NTIA Fabric License Tiers – A, B, C, D, and E. This framework has been designed to support the objectives of the Broadband, Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) program, including participation in state and other eligible entity administered challenge processes, and other Federal broadband programs through a Federal Broadband Granting Agency (FBGA).
An awardee of Federal funds from the Infrastructure, Investment, and Jobs Act (Section 60105) will need to license the data to satisfy compliance reporting requirements of these programs. If your organization currently participates or intends to participate in Federally funded broadband programs or a state-led challenge process, the NTIA Fabric license may support these activities, in accordance with the terms of the License Agreement.
If you received an email that your NTIA Fabric License has terminated, explore your options below.
Explore Fabric Licensing options upon NTIA License termination
Terminate
License termination means that an organization’s license has ended completely. The entity must cease use of CostQuest’s data and destroy all data in its possession (including derivatives). It must also sign and return a certificate of destruction, verifying that it did destroy all CostQuest Licensed Material.
Have questions? Contact compliance@costquest.com
persistence
A CostQuest Persistence License allows an organization to maintain the CostQuest data, including derivates, that they currently possess. The persistence license lasts for one year. At the end of the year the organization must destroy the data or purchase it through a commercial license. The Persistence License does not allow for updates or refreshes, nor does not allow an organization to add additional geography to its license. This license allows organizations to use the data for internal business purposes.
Explore your continuation options – Fabric Persistence License
commercial
CostQuest’s standard commercial license allows organizations to utilize the data (including the option for additional data) for internal business uses. Commercial licensees will receive data refreshes.
