Always the best journalism in depth journalism from the AP....
Given they said " A new report by the Federal Communications Commission"
it's almost certain they are talking about the "2015 Broadband Progress
Report and Notice of Inquiry on Immediate Action to Accelerate Deployment".

They don't mention the standard that they are using to judge "unserved".

Thank you associated press!! Now I have to go read all 79 comments....
The federal government says more than one-third of Alabama residents
lack broadband internet service.
A new report by the Federal Communications Commission says almost 35
percent of the state's residents don't have the high-speed service
needed for today's digital offerings. That means nearly 1.7 million
people statewide lack a fixed broadband connection.
Nationally, about 17 percent of Americans don't have such service.
The situation is worst in rural Alabama. About 56 percent of state
residents living outside cities lack broadband service.
The FCC report says people living in states with the lowest
population density are 10 times more likely to lack broadband service
than people in high-density states.
