It summarizes the project's data collection process including provider outreach, submission of data to the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) for the National Broadband Map, and use of crowdsourced data from consumer feedback to improve map accuracy. The presentation also covers how the collected broadband data is used to produce maps of technology types and provider coverage that are made available online for consumers.
