See Federal Communications Commission, Adopting the First Consolidated Communications Marketplace Report (Nov. 21, 2018), https://www.fcc.gov/document/adopting-first-consolidated-communications-marketplace-report. The appendices released today include the data collected and analyzed by Commission staff in developing the draft Communications Marketplace Report. The broadband deployment data in the appendices reflect updates to data received and processed after the release of the draft Communications Marketplace Report on November 21, 2018. The updated data will be used to prepare the final version of the Communications Marketplace Report. Accordingly, certain figures reported in the final version of the Communications Marketplace Report may differ from those in the publicly released draft. For example, some of the numbers reported in Figure D-3 of the publicly released draft will need to be amended by 0.1% to reflect amended data in Appendices C-1 and C-3. Further, the mobile wireless market appendices released today include various static mobile wireless coverage maps. Similar to other mobile wireless coverage maps released in past years, dynamic versions of these coverage maps will be published online after adoption and release of the Communications Marketplace Report. See, e.g., 20th Mobile Wireless Report Web Appendices, available at https://www.fcc.gov/20th-mobile-wireless-report-web-appendices.
