>
> If you submitted broadband data to us last year, thank you. If this
> is your first time submitting broadband data, it is important to know
> that we collect broadband deployment and subscriber data to determine
> areas where broadband
> is available. Areas where broadband is not available may be
> eligible for a
> California Advanced Services Fund (CASF) grant to deploy
> network facilities.
>
>
>
> Pursuant to Public Utilities Commission Decision
> D.16-12-025[1],
> all communications providers certificated and/or registered with the
> California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC), that also file Form
> 477 with the Federal Communications Commission, shall submit annually
> to the Communications Division by April 1st, broadband
> subscriber and deployment data at a Census Block level as of the
> prior calendar year’s end in a form as designated by Communications
> Division Staff.
> Only Mobile providers may submit broadband subscriber data at the
> Census Tract level.
> All providers may fulfill the subscriber reporting requirement by
> submitting subscriber data at the more granular street address level.
>
>
>
> Broadband data is to be submitted in the formats posted on the
> Broadband Mapping Program
> website. Please download the data formats, workbooks, and/or
> shapefiles appropriate for your submission. By not submitting your
> data
> in the above referenced formats, your data submittal will not be
> included on the
> California Interactive Broadband Map, which could potentially open
> those areas to CASF grants.
>
>
>
> FIXED WIRELESS PROVIDERS
>
> Starting this 2019 data collection cycle, Fixed Wireless providers
> are no longer required to submit tower location information. Please
> submit data pursuant to the above instructions.
>
>
>
>
> STATE VIDEO FRANCHISE HOLDERS
>
> Every State Video Franchise (SVF) Holder is required by DIVCA to
> submit an Annual Report to the CPUC each year (Section 5960 of the CA
> Public Utilities Code). In addition to video availability and video
> subscriber data, SVF Holders
> must also report broadband availability (same as “deployment”) and
> broadband subscriber data, as well as other information that is
> required in the Annual Report. If your organization is a SVF Holder,
> please check the Annual Reporting (for Holders) section
> of the CPUC’s Video Franchising web page for reporting instructions,
> and continue sending your reports (per DIVCA) to the Video
> Franchising Group.

>
> DEFINITIONS
>
> The CPUC uses the FCC definitions described below:
>
>
>
>
> Broadband:
> Lines (or wireless channels) that terminate at an end-user location
> and enable the end user to receive information from and/or send
> information to the Internet at information-transfer rates exceeding
> 200 kbps in at
> least one direction.
>
>
>
> Broadband Deployment:
> Fixed broadband connections are deployed in a Census Block if the
> provider does, or could, within a service interval that is typical
> for that type of connection—that is, without an extraordinary
> commitment
> of resources—provision two-way data transmission to and from the
> Internet with advertised speeds exceeding 200 kbps in at least one
> direction to end-user premises in the Census Block. Companies that
> would rely on the ordering or installation of a not-yet-leased
> circuit (including unbundled network elements defined in 47 C.F.R. §
> 51.319, TDM-based connections, or packet-based connections) to
> provide service in a Census Block not currently served, should NOT
> treat that Census Block as having service. Dark fiber acquired
> under an Indefeasible Right of Use (IRU) should be considered the
> “owned” facilities of the company that acquired the IRU when the dark
> fiber is used as part of that entity’s own system.
>
>
> California Interactive Broadband Map for public use
>
>
> Providers’ contact information is included on the
> California Interactive Broadband Map, so that people in areas served
> by your organization can contact you for more information or to order
> service. If you do not wish to have contact information available
> to those who may wish to purchase service from you, please let us
> know in writing.
>
>
>
> Confidentiality of submitted data
>
>
> Pursuant to CA Public Utilities Code Sec. 583, no information
> furnished to the commission
> by a public utility, or a corporation which holds a controlling
> interest in a public utility, shall be open to public inspection or
> made public except on order of the commission.
> Please identify any information that you consider confidential.
>
>
> Please submit the requested data no later than
> Monday, April 1, 2019 in accordance with the instructions on the
> CPUC’s
> State Broadband Mapping Program
> webpage and the Video Franchising
> webpage. Send questions or comments to [email protected].
