This layer represents the California Public Utilities Commission’s (CPUC) State Broadband business wireline and/or fixed wireless (fixed) broadband deployment.
The areas defined in this data are for those facilities-based providers of fixed broadband service in which broadband service is available to end users. For this purpose, an "end user" of broadband service is a business entity that may use broadband service for its own purposes and that does not resell such service to other entities or incorporate such service into retail Internet-access service. Internet Service Providers (ISPs) are not "end users" for this purpose. An entity is a "facilities-based" provider of broadband service connections to end user locations if any of the following conditions are met: (1) it owns the portion of the physical facility that terminates at the end user location; (2) it obtains unbundled network elements (UNEs), special access lines, or other leased facilities that terminate at the end user location and provisions/equips them as broadband; or (3) it provisions/equips a broadband wireless channel to the end user location over licensed or unlicensed spectrum. For this purpose, "broadband service" is "available" at a location if broadband speeds greater than 200 Kbps (in at least one direction) and the ability to provision new requests for broadband services within 10 days of a request.
