FCC Broadband Challenge Directory
Ulster County urges you to challenge the National Broadband Map created by the Federal Communication Commission (FCC) in order to bring more funding to our region. This map will help to determine whether locations are eligible for support to expand broadband, and what share of a $42.5 billion broadband investment will come our way.
Residents and business owners are urged to look up their address on the FCC Map and see if the information listed is accurate. All challenges are due January 13, 2023.
Having correct data for each address is crucial because the FCC uses the data to calculate the funding allocated to our remote neighborhoods. This will help pay for high-speed internet projects throughout our rural communities which would otherwise be unaffordable for individuals.
Even if the state or county is filing a challenge for your address, we have been informed that multiple challenges for unserved locations is crucial to accessing funding. Please file a challenge for your location if you know you are unserved.
