The first value in the deployment data is a census block ID. That file
reports your coverage area, and what technology and speeds offered on a
per-census block basis. There should be a LOT of census blocks in the list
if you have a large coverage area like most WISPs. How many lines do you
have in the deployment file compared to the 350 in the subscriber file?
