Massachusetts Releases Broadband Map

June 11, 2024 – The Massachusetts Broadband Institute published its challenge process map using the provided data from the Federal Communications Commission’s broadband map on Monday. This is the first step delineated in the state’s Volume 1 process for how the challenge process required by the Broadband, Equity, Access, and Deployment program will be implemented. 

The challenge process, a required step in the implementation of the BEAD program, will allow entities to challenge coverage claims made by state broadband maps and serves as a mechanism to address gaps in high-speed broadband coverage across the state.
