How are you ensuring integrity of data collection on broadband deployment?  Aren't you just allowing industry self-reporting?

We do rely upon industry self reporting as data inputs into the mapping exercise. However - we have our eCommunity teams in every county within Kentucky that works to verify where broadband is and where it isn't. Also - we run consumer surveys with statistical significance down to the county level which serves as an additional check.

Of note - in general the evidence indicates that the providers are providing very legitimate data.

Thanks for answering.  Are these surveys publicly available?  That would be fascinating information to analyze.
