Time for a new episode of Municipal Equation这是365足彩下载在全国广受赞誉的播客，内容是城镇在面对变化时的适应. When it comes to understanding broadband availability in the U.S., many turn to the Federal Communications Commission's coverage map, which serves to show where fast internet service exists, right down to the street address. Subsequently, that map is used for policymaking, funding decisions and planning to close service gaps for communities. But what if we told you that map, as many can testify, is pretty inaccurate? How? Why? What's the fallout, here? 随着快速可靠的互联网服务日益巩固其作为必要基础设施的地位, it's vital we have accurate data to shape our policymaking and funding decisions. So what's going on here? We dig in on this episode of Municipal Equation. (Stick around after the main segment, too, as we have updates on past episodes that our listeners pitched.)
