It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).

SENDD’s speed test initiative painted a more accurate picture of broadband service across the region by representing service and speed at every address that submitted a test. For years, the FCC has similarly sought to evaluate broadband availability at a more granular level. On November 18, the FCC published the highly-anticipated “fabric map” at broadbandmap.fcc.gov. The concept is simple: report broadband availability information including providers, speeds, and technologies at every single home and business in the country. As with any first draft, the maps released last month are in need of revisions – and everyone has been handed a red pen with the FCC’s incorporation of fabric and availability challenges.
