| The latest broadband map created by the FCC shows large portions of the United States without access to high-speed internet service. Revealed to the public Friday, the newest version of the nation's broadband map shows broad areas of Alaska, Arizona, Idaho, Nevada, Montana and Texas without access to 3G or faster mobile broadband coverage. While nearly every state in the union has sections of land without 3G service, rural western regions are clearly some of the areas least served. The map is perhaps the FCC's best argument for rapid implementation of its Connect America Fund, as each of the under-served areas are eligible for assistance through the program. "As our new map demonstrates, millions of Americans still live, work, and travel in areas where advanced mobile networks have not been built out," FCC Chair Julius Genachowski said. "Through the FCC's Connect America Fund, we're helping complete our nation's wired and wireless infrastructure, which will lead to job creation, economic growth, and innovation in the 21st century." The map is made with data current as of January 2012. This version of the FCC's map shows the areas identified as potentially eligible for Mobility Fund Phase 1 support. These areas are US Census blocks that lack 3G or better mobile coverage at the centroid of the block according to American Roamer data. For additional information, click here.
