The FCC Wireline Bureau and Office of Strategic Planning released an update Friday offering a better way to evaluate data on whether areas are eligible for Connect America Fund Phase II support. The update allows interested parties to download geospatial files for a selected census tract or county, the FCC said (http://bit.ly/1n4IDaK). “The downloaded file is specifically for use with desktop mapping software to display eligible census blocks, which should help users investigate potential areas for rural broadband experiments and assist parties participating in the Phase II challenge process.”
