On November 18, 2022, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) released a draft of the National Broadband Map. This map shows where high-speed internet is available across the country. The National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) will use this map to determine where funding should be sent for the buildout of broadband infrastructure.
