This dataset serves as the foundation for the Connect America Fund Broadband Map (CAF Map), an interactive online map that shows the impact of the Connect America Fund (CAF) on broadband expansion to close the digital divide in rural America. The CAF Map displays the geographic areas that are eligible for CAF support, as well as the specific fixed locations where carriers participating in the program have built out mass-market, high-speed Internet service. The dataset includes address, latitude and longitude coordinates, carrier name, filing year and minimum speeds offered for every location where CAF-supported service is available. The information in this dataset comes directly from carriers, which submit broadband deployment data annually through USAC’s High Cost Universal Broadband (HUBB) portal showing where they have built out service using CAF funding. The current CAF Map is based on data certified in the HUBB as of March 06, 2024, to reflect broadband deployment through Dec. 31, 2023. USAC independently verifies deployment to a random sample of locations reported in the HUBB each year to monitor carrier compliance with CAF build-out obligations.

This dataset provides detailed payment information dating back 10 years to show the types and dollar amounts of adjustments to prior-period support disbursed to Eligible Telecommunications Carriers (ETCs) that receive High Cost funding to provide voice and broadband service in rural America.

This dataset provides detailed payment information dating back 10 years to show dollar amounts disbursed to Eligible Telecommunications Carriers (ETCs) that receive High Cost funding to provide voice and broadband service in rural America. The information in this tool reflects certain adjustments to payments for the current month and prior periods to account for funding caps, support phase downs and budget control mechanisms.

This dataset provides information about total dollars disbursed to Eligible Telecommunication Carriers (ETCs) within the High Cost Program by month and year since January 2003.

This dataset provides the information of all the carriers providing Lifeline service, their customer service number, service type, state, and URL. The purpose of this dataset is to provide the most accurate list of carriers providing service in a particular area within a given state, through the use of zip codes. To ensure that this data is up-to-date and accurate, it is refreshed periodically to add new carriers and the corresponding zip codes of their designated service areas, update the zip codes for existing carriers, and remove zip codes for carriers that have relinquished their ETC designation. In the event that a user enters a zip code that does not return any service provider(s), a complete listing of the state in which the zip code is found will be returned with the recommendation that the consumer confirm the availability of Lifeline service in their chosen zip code with a service provider from that state.

This dataset provides information on total support dollars disbursed and total subscribers claimed by Eligible Telecommunication Carriers (ETCs) within the Lifeline Program by month and year since January 2018. This dataset displays an ETC’s Study Area Code (SAC) but does not include the Service Provider Identification Number (SPIN). If a search needs to be performed by SPIN, please refer to the legacy Funding Disbursement Search Tool, which includes all total support dollars disbursed and total subscribers claimed from 2004 to the present. If searching by "SPIN Name," please refer to the FCC Filings and use the most recent appendix to find the proper name.

This dataset displays rates of eligible services under the Telecommunications (Telecom) Program for FY2021. The rates in the dataset are collected from several data sources such as Funding Request Forms (FCC Form 466, (Telecom Program), FCC Form 462 (Health Care Connect Fund (HCF)), FCC Form 471 (E-Rate), Tariff, and other approved sources by the FCC. The dataset can be used in calculating median rural and urban rates that can be entered into the FCC Form 466 application for the Telecom Program.

All information within the FCC Forms 462, 466, and 471 data collection is self-reported by applicants.

This dataset contains data about funding decisions, total committed amounts, and total disbursement amounts for the Rural Health Care (RHC) Program. The data is collected from the FCC Form 462 (Funding Request Form, Health Care Connect Fund (HCF)), FCC Form 466 (Funding Request and Certification Form, Telecommunications program) and FCC Form 466A (Internet Service Funding Request and Certification Form, Telecommunications program). All information within the FCC Forms 462, 466, and 466A data collection is self-reported by applicants.

This dataset contains data allowing service providers to view service request information provided by individual Health Care Providers (HCPs) and consortia applying for funding through the Rural Health Care (RHC) Program.
