   I can't answer your question, but I would assume, since the assessment   
   was based in Virginia (from your link), perhaps they are assessing   
   network coverage in the state from cellular providers?   
      
   I have to add that I find it interesting that "Appalachian Wireless"   
   still maintains their own network, independent from the now "Big 3"   
   AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile/Sprint.  I was aware that US Cellular had   
   their own network, but I thought that all of the local/regional wireless   
   providers (aside from MVNO's) were gobbled up years ago.  Apparently,   
   there are a few others.   
      
   Appalachian Wireless, in specific, serving parts of Kentucky and WV, is   
   turning off their CDMA network at the end of 2022 (like many other   
   companies), even though Wikipedia claims that all of their voice service   
   only runs through CDMA (not LTE).
