Ohio Cable Operator Fined $10,000 for Incorrect Broadband Data Locations

Ohio's Jefferson County Cable TV will pay a $10,000 civil penalty to end an FCC investigation into the company's broadband data reporting practices, according to an Enforcement Bureau consent decree in Monday's Daily Digest. The bureau said that after an individual challenged the company's reported broadband service provision data, Jefferson County Cable acknowledged it hadn't properly reviewed and understood the FCC's guidance on broadband data collection filings and that about 1,500 locations reported as receiving service were removed from the company's filings.
