N.J. Surveys Residents on Broadband

A New Jersey commission asked residents to take a broadband survey Tuesday. The Broadband Access Study Commission (BASC) survey, meant to assess speed, usage and service gaps, will help the state pursue federal funding, said the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (BPU). The survey will close Jan. 31. New Jersey BPU President Joseph Fiordaliso chairs the 2021-established BASC, which also includes representatives from the state legislature, local governments, industry and community groups. The BASC plans to issue a final report next year, the BPU said.
