This layer represents the California Public Utilities Commission’s (CPUC) State Broadband consumer mobile wireless broadband deployment as advertised by mobile providers.
The areas defined in this data are for those facilities-based providers of mobile wireless broadband service in which broadband service is available to end users. For this purpose, an "end user" of broadband service is a residential 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.
