   FCC Releases Draft Nationwide Broadband Map   
      
   by Jennifer L. Richter , Douglas I. Brandon and Nicole McFarland   
      
   After years of broadband data collection, the Federal Communications   
   Commission (FCC) today released a draft of its new nationwide map of   
   fixed and mobile broadband availability. The map interface is   
   available here.   
      
   The revised map will be the basis for the National Telecommunications   
   and Information Administration's (NTIA) allocation to the states of   
   $42 billion in Broadband Equity, Access and Deployment (BEAD) grants   
   next summer. Grant funds will be divided among state and tribal   
   governments, who will issue subgrants prioritizing broadband buildout   
   in currently unserved and underserved areas, as identified by the new   
   map. For more on the map revision and grant allocation processes, see   
   last week's alert.
