FCC Staff Extend Broadband Data Collection Submission Deadline

The FCC Wireline Bureau and Office of Economics and Analytics extended until Sept. 15 the deadline for broadband data collection submissions of availability data as of June 30 (see 2307030033). The extension will give providers additional time to incorporate updated broadband serviceable location fabric data into their submissions, per a public notice Wednesday in docket 19-195. "These updates were necessary to correct a processing error that occurred during the production of the June 2023 fabric," the notice said. Already uploaded or submitted fixed broadband availability data must be reuploaded or resubmitted based on the updated fabric.
