Hi all, I'd like to point out their note that fixed wireless providers now will report their deployment data in the same format as wireline providers (i.e. census blocks). I've been asking for this for a while, so I'm happy to see this change...I hope everyone agrees with me. This is more in line with how the form 477 reporting works, so it should be a relatively easy transition for those already following that process. There are vendors out there (e.g. towercoverage.com) that can be used to facilitate both processes. I'd be happy to answer any questions about the process, GIS, RF mapping, etc. So feel free to ask questions on/off list.
