Re: FCC has access to dozens of independent studies
quote:
they also have access to dozens of other studies
Other than the OECD rankings, which I'd assume you'd lament as wildly inaccurate because they show us ranked twelfth in penetration, which independent rural broadband studies would those be? Dozens? Can you actually list "dozens" of studies that specifically study rural coverage gaps? Many independent studies rely in turn on the FCC data. Many others are based on inflated and unconfirmed incumbent data, intentionally buoyed to support deregulatory positions.
Groups like Leichtman? quote:
Leichtman Research Group, Inc. (LRG) bases its findings off of nationwide consumer research studies conducted via telephone (to represent a representative cross-section of all US households). This data is also analyzed in conjunction with our database of provider-side research, as well as other sources - including the FCC.
Nobody is actually going into rural America and confirming anything. |
