Accurate Map for Broadband Investment Act of 2023

The Accurate Map for Broadband Investment Act of 2023, also known as Bill 118 s 1162, is a piece of legislation introduced in the US Congress with the aim of improving the accuracy of broadband maps in order to facilitate better investment in broadband infrastructure.

The bill requires the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to establish a process for collecting and verifying data on the availability of broadband services across the country. This data will be used to create more accurate broadband maps that will help identify areas that are underserved or unserved by broadband providers.

By improving the accuracy of these maps, the bill aims to ensure that federal funding for broadband infrastructure projects is directed to areas that truly need it. This will help bridge the digital divide and ensure that all Americans have access to high-speed internet services. Additionally, the bill includes provisions to increase transparency and accountability in the broadband mapping process. It requires the FCC to regularly update the maps and provide opportunities for public input and feedback. Overall, the Accurate Map for Broadband Investment Act of 2023 is a bipartisan effort to improve the accuracy of broadband maps and ensure that federal funding for broadband infrastructure is targeted where it is most needed.
