This report summarizes information about Internet access connections over 200 kilobits per second (kbps) in at least one direction in service in the United States on June 30, 2013, as collected by FCC Form 477. Form 477 gathers standardized information about subscribership to Internet access services in the fifty states, District of Columbia, and inhabited insular areas (American Samoa, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, and U .S. Virgin Islands). The information is reported by telephone companies, cable system operators, terrestrial wireless service providers, satellite service providers, and other facilities-based providers of advanced telecommunications capability.1 This is the tenth report to include details about subscribership differences among census tracts and counties, as well as subscribership differences among the states.2 Notable developments between June 2012 and June 2013 include: • Internet connections overall are growing. The number of connections over 200 kbps in at least one direction increased by 13% year -over-year to 276 million. • In June 2013, there were 70 million fixed and 93 million mobile connections with download speeds at or above 3 megabits per second (Mbps ) and upload speeds at or above 768 kbps as compared to 57 million fixed and 43 million mobile connections a year earlier. Figure 1 illustrates the trend in connections speeds from June 2010 through June 2013, and Figure 2 presents a side-by-side comparison of fixed and mobile connec tion speeds in June 2013.3 1 See the Technical Notes and the Glossary that appear at the end of this report for more- detailed information about the Form 477 data collection and the meaning of terms used in this report. Readers should note two key aspects of the Form 477 data. First, i f service connections of different speeds are available to a particular consumer for purchase – from one or more suppliers – then only the purchased connection is counted by Form 477. Second, the reported connection speed is typically the advertised speed of the purchased service, and it is possible that the purchased service will not operate at its advertised speed at all times. The Commission has sponsored tests of actual consumer broadband speeds. See, e.g., Federal Communications Commission, Office o f Engineering and Technology and Consumer and Governmental Affairs Bureau, 2014 Measuring Broadband America Fixed Broadband Report (June 2014), available at www.fcc.gov/measuring- broadband-america. 2 Census tract-level data were first collected for December 2008. For an overview of program history, see High- Speed Services for Internet Access: Status as of December 31, 2008 (February 2010) (December 2008 High-Speed Report) at pp. 1-4, available at www.fcc.gov/wcb/iatd/comp.html. Readers who are interested in historical trends in the Form 477 data should note the changes in reporting requirements that were effective in 2008 and earlier, in 2005. 3 Reporting entities place connections into speed tiers defined by predetermined ranges of upload and download speeds. Note that the Commission has decided to implement a different approach starting with data as of June 30, 2014. For each fixed product subscribed to in a census tract, the provider will report connections by the maximum advertised upload and download speeds of the product in that census tract. For each mobile product subscribed to in a state, the provider will report connections by the minimum advertised upload and download speeds of the product in that state. As the Commission explained, while the maximum advertised speed is a reasonably reliable indicator of the speed of fixed service that subscribers receive, a wireless service provider’s targeted minimum data speed in a market typically is a primary driver of the wireless network design that determines the market coverage boundaries. See Modernizing the FCC Form 477 Data Program, WC Docket No. 11 -10, Report and Order, 28 FCC Rcd 9887, 9908- 09, 9915, paras. 42 n.138, 62 (2013) (June 2013 Form 477 Modernization Order).

The number of mobile subscriptions with speeds over 200 kbps in at least one direction grew to 181 million – up 18 % from June 2012. The number of fixed-location connections at speeds over 200 kbps in at least one direction increased by 5% year -over-year to 94 million. Connection s peeds in detail . The Form 477 program categorizes reportable connections into 72 speed tiers defined by eight ranges of downstream and nine ranges of upstream speed. In this overview discussion, we organize the extensive information collected for June 2013 into three groups of downstream speeds and three groups of upstream speeds. We do this separately for fixed -location connections and for mobile connections. As in previous reports, we use the Form 477 speed tier breakpoints of 3 Mbps and 6 Mbps to organize the information about downstream speeds, and we use the Form 477 speed tier breakpoints of 768 kbps and 1.5 Mbps to organize the information about upstream speeds.5 Fixed connections – downstream speeds. Figure 3(a) illustrates how the 94 million fixed connections reported for June 2013 were distributed across the three ranges of downstream speed defined by breakpoints at 3 Mbps and at 6 Mbps . 4 Compare Table 10 of this report with Table 10 of Internet Access Services: Status as of June 30, 2012 (May 2013), available at www.fcc.gov/wcb/iatd/comp.html. 5 Our narrative discussion of the speeds of fixed connections is summarized more concisely in Chart 2, at p. 19, and our narrative discussion of the speeds of mobile connections is summarized more concisely in Chart 5, at p. 22. The Commission benchmark ed broadband as a transmission service that enables an end user actually to download Internet content at 4 Mbps and to upload Internet content at 1 Mbps over the service provider’s network. That benchmark does not exactly match any Form 477 speed tier, and the Commission decided to evaluate the evidence of broadband availability using the Form 477-defined breakpoints of 3 Mbps downstream and 768 kbps upstream to proxy the speed benchmark of 4 Mbps downstream and 1 Mbps upstream. See Inquiry Concerning the Deployment of Advanced Telecommunications Capability to All Americans in a Reasonable and Timely Fashion, and Possible Steps to Accelerate Such Deployment Pursuant to Section 706 of the Telecommunications Act of 1996, Amended by the Broadband Data Improvement Act, GN Docket Nos. 09 -137, 09- 51, Report, 25 FCC Rcd 95560, 9563, 9568, paras. 11, 20 (2010) (Sixth Broadband Deployment Report). U.S. Federal Communications Commission Internet Access Services: Status as of June 30, 2013 4 • In June 2013, 15% of reportable fixed connections (or 13.8 million connections) were slower than 3 Mbps in the downstream direction, 15% (or 14.2 million connections) were at least 3 Mbps in the downstream direction but slower than 6 Mbps , and 70% (or 66.3 million connections) were at least 6 Mbps in the downstream direction. 6 Fixed connections – upstream speeds . Figure 3(b) illustrates how the 94 million fixed connections reported for June 2013 were distributed across the three ranges of upstream speed defined by breakpoints at 768 kbps and at 1.5 Mbps . 6 See Chart 2, at p. 19.

In Figure 5(a) , we estimate the percentages of households located in census tracts where zero, one, two, or three or more providers reported residential fixed -location connections of several different speeds in June 2013. In doing so, however, we emphasize that a provider that reports residential fixed -location connections of a particular speed in a particular census tract may not necessarily offer service at that speed everywhere in the census tract. Accordingly, the number of providers shown in Figure 5(a) does not necessarily reflect the number of choices available to a particular household, and does not purport to measure competition. We note that the Commission has adopted changes to Form 477 that will enable a more precise analysis in future.10 10 The Commission anticipates adding deployment information to Form 477 starting with data as of June 30, 2014, and the information about fixed broadband deployment will be reported by census block. ( There are approximately 11 million census blocks and approximately 74,000 census tracts , although not all contain households.) See June 2013 Form 477 Modernization Order, 28 FCC Rcd at 9902- 05, paras. 32-35.

Again, we emphasize that such providers may not necessarily offer services at those speeds everywhere in the census tract, and that these data do not necessarily reflect competition.

The Commission has systematically collected, compiled, and published data about the adoption of fixed-location Internet access connections faster than 200 kbps in at least one direction for more than a decade. Figure 6 illustrates the adoption of fixed- location Internet access connections (that is, all reportable connections over 200 kbps in at least one direction except mobile wireless connections) since 1999. 11 Figure 6 Fixed -Location Connections 1999-2013 (Connections over 200 kbps in at least one direction) • Between June 2003 and June 2013, total (business and residential) reportable fixed-location connections grew from 23 million connections to 94 million connections – at a compound annual growth rate of 15% per year. 12 • Over the same ten -year period, residential fix ed-location connections grew from 21 million connections to 86 million connections – also at a compound annual growth rate of 15% per year. 11 For data through December 2004, only those providers with at least 250 connections in a state were required to report. Historical fixed -location connection counts not included in this report may be found in June 2008 High- Speed Report at Tables 1 and 3, available in Excel format at www.fcc.gov/wcb/iatd/comp.html. 12 The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is a smoothed rate of growth calculated in three steps. First, divide the ending (June 2013) value by the beginning (June 2003) value. Second, raise the result of that division to a power equal to one divided by the number of years in the period (in this case, 10 years, so the power is 1/10). Third, subtract the number one from the result of the second step. 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 0 10,000 20,000 30,000 40,000 50,000 60,000 70,000 80,000 90,000 100,000 Con ne ct io ns pe r 10 0 Uni ts Con ne ct io ns in Tho us an ds Residential Fixed Connections (left axis) Total Fixed Connections (left axis) Residential Fixed Connections per 100 Households (right axis) Total Fixed Connections per 100 Population (right axis) U.S. Federal Communications Commission Internet Access Services: Status as of June 30, 2013 11 • Between June 2003 and June 2013, household adoption – which we track in Figure 6 by comparing the number of residential fixed- location connections over 200 kbps in at least one direction to the number of households – increased from 18 connections per 100 households to 69 connections per 100 households.13 Other report highlights . R esidential subscribership • Residential fixed -location Internet access connections over 200 kbps in at least one direction increased by 4% between June 2012 and June 2013, to 86 million. See Table 3. • Reported residential mobile wireless service subscribers with mobile devices and data plans for full Internet access increased by 24%, to 142 million, between June 2012 and June 2013. See Table 3. • The reported data show a 30% annual increase in the number of residential fixed-location connections that are at least 6 Mbps downstream and 1.5 Mbps upstream (from 34.5 million in June 2012 to 45 million in June 2013) and a 31% annual increase in the number of connections that are at least 10 Mbps downstream and 1.5 Mbps upstream (from 34.1 million in June 2012 to 44.8 million in June 2013).14 See Chart 12. 13 In Figure 6, we calculated residential fixed connections per 100 households using, in the denominator, U.S. household estimates from the Census Bureau’s Current Population Survey (CPS) for July of each year and, for Puerto Rico and the other inhabited island areas, Census 2010 households for 2010 and later years and Census 2000 households for the earlier years. (The CPS also estimates U.S. households for March and November of each year.) Ratios calculated for different dates or by using alternative household estimates will differ somewhat from the ratios reported in Figure 6. We also show total (including business as well as residential) fixed -location connections per 100 population in Figure 6, which we calculated using U.S. Census Bureau population estimates for the United States and Puerto Rico – which are as of July 1 each year – and, for the remaining inhabited island areas, Census 2010 population for 2010 and later years and Census 2000 population for the earlier years. This statistic, which is routinely reported by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), incorporates connections to business locations into a comparison to persons. A more accurately measured indicator of this type would include only connections to residential locations, but OECD does not have comprehensive, consistent information about residential connections in the member countries. (We note that the ratio of accurately measured residential fixed -location connections to population has a maximum value for any given country and point in time – the value when every household is connected – if we assume that no household would have more than one fixed connection to its premises. For the United States in June 2013, for example, the maximum value would be 39 because there were about 125 million households in the United States and inhab ited insular areas and a population of about 320 million according to the sources used for Figure 6.) 14 These increases are largely due to a change in upstream-speed reporting by a single aDSL services provider. U.S. Federal Communications Commission Internet Access Services: Status as of June 30, 2013 12 Household adoption of faster speeds • As a national average in June 2013, there were 54 residential fixed-location connections per 100 households for connections with speeds that were reported to be at least 3 Mbps downstream and 768 kbps upstream. 15 See Table 13. Census tract and county shares of households with reportable connections • We estimate the share of households with fixed -location Internet access connections over 200 kbps in at least one direction in individual census tracts and counties as of June 30, 2013. We continue to observe substantial variation among these estimates. See Charts 15 and 16. • For both census tracts and counties, we continue to find estimates above 100% for the share of households with reportable fixed -location Internet access connections. While this is likely to occur more frequently in areas where the number of housing units is substantially greater than the number of households, such as resort areas and beach communities, these results suggest that some filers are not accurately assigning customer connections to census tracts, and anecdotal evidence supports that conclusion.16 Household adoption rates and subscribership demographics • The report includes charts that illustrate correlations between household subscribership, or adoption, rates and demographic measures. We update charts based on income, household density, education, age, and race. The data indicate that some demographic variables are correlated with the adoption of Internet access service. See Charts 17-29. Maps of providers by census tract • Maps depict the number of providers of reportable connections by census tract: (1) providers of total (combined residential and business) reportable fixed -location connections, (2) providers of residential reportable fixed -location connections, (3) providers of residential fixed -location connections at least 3 Mbps downstream and 768 kbps upstream, and (4) providers making reportable mobile wireless service available.17 15 Increases over time in the ratio of residential fixed -location connections to households indicate that increasing shares of households are connected at home. The ratio is somewhat different from the “take rate” of offered service (which may also be called an “adoption rate”) because, as discussed in connection with Figure 5(a), some households may be located in areas where no fixed -location service is offered. These methodological differences are discussed in greater detail in Inquiry Concerning the Deployment of Advanced Telecommunications Capability to All Americans in a Reasonable and Timely Fashion, and Possible Steps to Accelerate Such Deployment Pursuant to Section 706 of the Telecommunications Act of 1996, Amended by the Broadband Data Improvement Act, GN Docket No. 11-121, Eighth Broa dband Progress Report, 27 FCC Rcd 10342, 10386, para. 94 (2012). 16 For example, while contacting Form 477 filers with questions about reported data, FCC staff continue to find situations in which all connections reported for a county have been assigned to a single, anomalous census tract. 17 As discussed in the Technical Notes, a mobile wireless provider should only report service availability in census tracts where the provider operates a network capable of sending or receiving data at speeds above 200 kbps. U.S. Federal Communications Commission Internet Access Services: Status as of June 30, 2013 13 Remainder of the r eport . The remainder of the report consists of tables, charts, and maps that highlight different aspects of Internet access service subscriptions. This information is organized into four sections, as described below. As always, publicly accessible data that are too voluminous to include in this report are available online at www.fcc.gov/wcb/iatd/comp.html. • Detailed Summary Statistics: The Nation. Tables 1-12 and Charts 1-14 focus in order on: number of connections, speed of connections, technology of connections, and number of providers. • Detailed Summary Statistics: The States. Tables 13-21 present comparable information for the individual states and our estimates of the shares of households that are connected at different speeds. • Detailed Summary Statistics: Counties and Census Tracts. Charts 1 5-16 and Tables 22-26 present information about differences among counties and census tracts. This section concludes with two maps that illustrate differences among census tracts in the estimated share of connected households and the four maps (discussed above) that illustrate providers by census tract. • Detailed Correlation Results: Demographic Measures. Charts 17-29 present details of the correlations observed between the estimated share of connected households and demographic measures. * * * * We invite users of this information to suggest improvements in the data analysis by using the attached customer response form or sending comments to IATDreports@fcc.gov for subject: June 2013 Internet services data, and to participate in proceedings the Commission undertakes to improve the data collection.

Wherever a number of providers is cited in this report, multiple Form 477 filers within a holding company structure count as one provider. Form 477 collects information about Internet access connections in service to end-user locations that are advertised to deliver information to and/or from the end user – that is, in at least one dir ection – at transfer rates (“speeds”) above 200 kilobits per second (kbps). Information is collected about connections in 72 speed tiers (nine upstream tiers and eight downstream) defined by ranges of upstream speeds and downstream speeds. Connections are further categorized by the technology employed by the part of the connection that terminates at the end-user location. “E nd users” are residential, business, institutional, or government entities who use services for their own purposes and who do not resell such services to other entities. Facilities-based providers report information about connections they provide directly to their own end-user customers and also connections that they provide to Internet Service Providers for resale to end users. For Form 477 purposes, the facilities-based provider of a connection is the entity that owns the portion of the physical facility that terminates at the end-user location, obtains an unbundled network element (UNE), special access line, or other leased facility that terminates at the end-user location and provisions/equips it as a connection that transfers information at rates over 200 kbps in at least one direction, or provisions/equips a wireless channel that transfers information at rates over 200 kbps in at least one direction to the end-user location over licensed spectrum or over spectrum that the provider uses on an unlicensed basis. The mutually exclusive Form 477 technology categories are: asymmetric D igital Subscriber Line (“aDSL” in this report), symmetric Digital Subscriber Line (“sDSL”), other wireline, cable modem, optical fiber to the end-user premises (“ FTTP” ), satellite, fixed wireless (using licensed or unlicensed spectrum), mobile wireless (using licensed or unlicensed spectrum), electric power line, and all other (which is included to capture deployment of additional technologies over time). In the Form 477 data collection, aDSL-based services delivered over fiber-to-the-node architecture are reported in the aDSL category. The other wireline category comprises T1/DS1, T3/DS3, and other copper-based connections, not elsewhere categorized , that deliver Internet access service at the end-user location. Ethernet connections delivering Internet access service are reported in the other wireline category if the connection terminates over copper and in the FTTP category if the connection terminates over fiber. Connections deployed over hybrid fiber-coax (HFC) architecture are reported in the cable modem category. Wireless ISPs (“WISPs”) report in the fixed wireless category if providing service to dispersed, fixed end- user locations and report in the mobile wireless category if providing a commercial service that can be received at any location within a service footprint. Wireless local area networks (such as Wi-Fi hotspots) that only enable local distribution and sharing of a premises connection are not included, although the shared premises connection is included. Numbers of connections presented in this report are not adjusted for the number of persons at a single end-user location who have access to, or who use, the Internet access services delivered over the connection to that location. U.S. Federal Communications Commission Internet Access Services: Status as of June 30, 2013 79 Numbers of residential connections are estimated based on the total connections and percentage- residential connections information reported on Form 477. Census t racts Starting with data as of December 31, 2008, facilities-based providers of reportable fixed -location Internet access connections must report connection counts and percentage residential information at the census tract level of detail. Because of the inherent mobility of their service, facilities-based mobile wireless providers do not report subscriber counts by census tract. Instead, they report the census tracts in the state that best represent the areas where service is available over the provider’s own network, for each of the speed tiers in which the provider offers service. The census tract-level data summarized in this report were collected for tracts in the 2010 decennial census. For the purposes of this report, there are 73,767 census tracts because we exclude census tracts delineated specifically to cover large bodies of water. About 110 of the census tracts have population but no households because the population resides in group living quarters. For the purpose of estimating residential subscribership rates by census tract, we assume these census tracts have no reportable residential Internet access service because persons residing in group quarters would have Internet a ccess over a business connection provided to the operator of the group quarters. Therefore, these census tracts are included in the “zero” column. Ratios of residential fixed - location connections to households that exceed 100% We estimate the share of households with fixed-location connections in individual census tracts by taking the ratio of the reported number of fixed-location residential service connections to the estimated number of households. We continue to find “outlier” estimates at or above 100% and to find that the number of outliers is substantially reduced when estimates are made for individual counties rather than for individual census tracts. Possible explanations of ratios at or above 100% include (1) geocoding misallocations of servi ce locations to census tracts; (2) proper allocation of connections to the county level by some filers, but improper allocation of all connections to a single tract in the county; (3) possible overestimation of residential connections in service plans for which the customer base is primarily residential; and (4) connections at seasonally or occasionally occupied housing units, such as vacation homes, while the household is counted elsewhere. Most of the numbers of households in census tracts that were used to generate the estimated ratios are themselves estimates (from GeoLytics, Inc.), which could have an independent effect. Maps showing residential subscribership rates by census tract The two maps based on estimated Internet access connections over 200 kbps in at least one direction per 1,000 households (that is, estimated household subscribership rates) exclude all connections identified as business connections and necessarily exclude residential mobile wireless connections (which are reported for the state but not for individual census tracts).
