What to submit?
Broadband Availability Data
CBO requests that ISPs fill out the Colorado Broadband Data Collection form to provide confirmation of their FCC Broadband Data Collection (BDC) filing depicting broadband service availability once per year. To fill out the form, providers must supply their BDC Provider ID, a brief description of the data submitted to FCC, and proof of submission. Acceptable proof of BDC filing includes a screenshot of their “Biannual Submissions Dashboard” in the FCC BDC System showing FRN and the Filing status of their submission.
Instructions to access BDC Submissions Dashboard:
- Go to https://bdc.fcc.gov/
- Select the name of the entity for which you want to submit / view data.
- Take a screenshot of the Submissions Dashboard. Screenshot must include:
- FRN
- Filing status for “Data As-Of Date”.
You may redact any other sensitive information from the screenshot.
Additional Broadband Availability Data
In addition to availability data for Broadband Serviceable Locations (BSLs), we requested that ISPs submit availability data for the following:
- Non-BSLs: Locations that are not considered BSLs, such as community anchor institutions and enterprise locations.
- Locations missing from the Fabric: Any location that is not in the Fabric that is a broadband serviceable location.
Pricing Information
