And #2 the geocode information of your customers installation. 2 different reports.

Surely you don't have customers at every possible location that you can provide service to?!?! We use towercoverage.com<http://towercoverage.com> because it reports all the locations that we can provide service to. 2 cents -Sean On Thursday, February 26, 2015, Philip Rankin <wireless...@gmail.com<mailto:wireless...@gmail.com>> wrote: The hardest part for the Fixed Broadband Deployment portion of the filing is understanding what the FCC wants and then manipulating the data to get it into the format the Commission requires after you find where to find the Census information. (The Census information by state is all on http://www.fcc.gov/encyclopedia/census-blocks-state) You just have to massage it to make it fit. I use Platypus and Tucows has a really nice easy button push to generate the Fixed Broadband Subscription information. The subscription can be done manually if you can find the census maps.

How do I get the block/tract info? I've got maps, I've got programs, been through the 477 paperwork of the past, none of the numbers I get add up to 15 digits. Getting a little irritated at this point. Thanks guys. -- Philip J. Rankin Wireless Telecommunications Services PO Box 24 Pittsburg, KS 66762
