The Connect America Fund State Map (CAF State Map) provides a big-picture, state-level view of the impact of the Connect America Fund on broadband expansion in rural America. The map displays total deployment obligations by location count, total cumulative deployment reported so far by location count and total cumulative funding paid out to date – all on a state-by-state basis – by aggregating data for all carriers participating in the Connect America Fund in each state.

The Connect America Fund Broadband Map (CAF Map) provides a granular, location-level view of the impact of the Connect America Fund on broadband expansion in rural America. The map displays the geographic areas that are eligible for CAF support, as well as the specific fixed locations where participating carriers report offering mass-market, high speed Internet service funded by the program. The dataset in the CAF Map includes address, latitude and longitude coordinates, carrier name, filing year and available speeds meeting FCC obligations.

This tool presents information at the Study Area Code (SAC) level about dollar amounts paid to Eligible Telecommunications Carriers (ETCs) that participate in Connect America Fund (CAF) programs; the number of locations that carriers have deployed with CAF support and reported so far to USAC; and the total number of locations that carriers must deploy by the end of the program. The tool allows users to search the dataset by state, filing year, carrier name, fund and SAC, and displays disbursement and deployment numbers by both individual filing year and on a cumulative basis.

This tool provides details at the Study Area Code (SAC) level about the number of locations that Eligible Telecommunications Carriers (ETCs) participating in the Connect America Fund (CAF) have deployed with CAF support at each obligated speed tier and reported so far to USAC, and the total number of locations that carriers must deploy at each speed tier by the end of the program. The tool allows users to search the dataset by state, filing year, holding company, fund, SAC and obligated speed tier, and displays deployment numbers by both individual filing year and on a cumulative basis.

Deployment Data for Connect America Fund Phase I

This tool displays information about total dollar amounts paid to carriers that receive High Cost funding to provide voice and broadband service in rural America. The tool contains payment information dating back to January 2003.

This tool displays detailed payment data dating back 10 years to show dollar amounts disbursed to carriers that receive High Cost funding to provide voice and broadband service in rural America. The information in this tool reflects certain adjustments to payments for the current month and prior periods to account for funding caps, support phase downs and budget control mechanisms.

This tool is used to calculate the amount of funding ETCs will receive to support deployment of voice and broadband service networks where a federal subsidy is necessary. Users of previous models must create new accounts.
