“WIA congratulates Chairwoman Rosenworcel and the talented FCC team for their dedication and the hard work that went into today’s release of the pre-production draft of the National Broadband Map. While this is only the next step forward in an iterative process, it is a monumental milestone. Constructive public input in this process will be crucial to ensure that we have an accurate understanding of where broadband remains out of reach and where federal funds should be targeted.”
