How Will New FCC Broadband Standard Affect Mobile "Served" Coverage?

At the end of January, the FCC adopted their 2015 Broadband Progress Report, which called for changing the definition of "advanced services" to to 25 Mb/s down and 3 Mb/s up (collectively, "25/3"). The study estimates that over half of all rural Americans lack access to these higher speeds.

We estimate that roughly 7% of California households lack access to 25/3, which is in line with the FCC's estimate.
