Who does Connected Nation work with to produce the maps?
Connected Nation begins by forming a public-private partnership with providers and state leaders to implement a mapping strategy for that state. Broadband inventory data is obtained directly from providers, the only reliable source for such infrastructure information, which voluntarily collaborate with Connected Nation through a constructive partnership to ensure their service offerings are accurately represented on the map. Connected Nation is proud to count as mapping partners more than 300 providers from across the nation including large multinational firms, local cooperatives and small wireless entrepreneurs using any and all types of available technology to deploy terrestrial broadband, including fixed wireless, digital subscriber line (DSL), cable modem, fiber, mobile wireless and hybrid systems that combine different technologies.
