Bill overview
This bill aims to improve the accuracy of maps showing wireless broadband coverage in the United States. It directs the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to develop a system that uses data reported by consumers and local governments to check the coverage claims made by wireless carriers. The FCC is tasked with incorporating consumer data from tools like the FCC Speed Test app and considering data from state and tribal governments. Ultimately, the goal is to create a more reliable picture of broadband availability across the country.
