NTIA Data (June 2010 to 2014)
Broadband Company Name Identification
Fundamental to the Census-NBM system is the ability to properly identify each Broadband company with its associated Broadband technologies and bandwidth speeds. The NTIA provides four different company names for each entity. In addition to these four, the Census-NBM experts have developed a Uniform Corporate Name which is a consistent Corporate Name across and within states. Census-NBM also provides the Local Exchange Company Study Area Names associated with USF support and other regulatory filings.
Census-NBM experts have carefully screened all of the filing entities to create its powerful Sorted Company Category that identifies and separates ILECs from CLECs, Cable MSO companies and Municipality and Utility companies.
