On September 11th, 2019, CostQuest President/CEO Jim Stegeman spoke as an industry expert in front of the House Committee on Energy & Commerce, specifically the subcommittee on Communications and Technology. The panel discussed the future of broadband mapping and, specifically, the importance of sub-census block reporting as a means to provide a more granular view of broadband coverage.
UPDATE: This hearing, along with many of the efforts with partners in our industry and with the FCC, helped shape the direction of where we are now headed with the Broadband DATA Act and Broadband Data Collection (BDC), formally referred to as the Digital Opportunity Data Collection (DODC).
