It may be no surprise that not everyone that lives in the USA has access to high speed Internet. Some only have the option of cellular broadband service, which of course requires good cellular reception. Those of you who fall into this category will be interested to know that the President and the FCC are finally working in your favor! Congress could soon pass an infrastructure bill that allocates $65 billion to improving broadband access. This is just one step in their compliance with 2020’s Broadband DATA Act, which required them to update its data and maps.
Of course, there must be service made available by the cellular providers. At this time there are still large areas where there is very little to no cellular coverage. It’s also quite difficult to determine the performance of the cellular service in any location. To help with this problem, the FCC unveiled a new interactive map to show where the nation’s four largest cellular carriers are providing voice and data services – including all the gaps.
Currently, the map only is limited to outdoor access, but an “at-home” map is still in progress.
