AACG Telecom Expert Provides Comments in the FCC’s Broadband Progress Proceeding
October 16 2018 - 7:45AM
Business Wire
Advanced Analytical Consulting Group’s (“AACG”) Dr. Timothy
Tardiff filed Reply Comments with the Federal Communications
Commission (“FCC”), demonstrating the number of firms offering
broadband Internet has grown substantially since the previous FCC
Broadband Progress Report. Due to significant changes in how the
FCC has measured broadband over time, AACG produces consistent
measures of broadband availability that identify the growth in the
number of broadband providers at different speed levels. The rate
of growth in the number of broadband providers is a key measure
used by Internet policy makers, legislators and regulators to
assess the extent of broadband competition.
AACG economist, Dr. Timothy Tardiff, provided these findings in
response to the Notice of Inquiry in the proceeding in which the
FCC is assessing whether advanced telecommunications capability is
being provided to all Americans in a reasonable and timely fashion.
Dr. Tardiff updated previously published articles by AACG to
include the FCC’s most recent (June 2017) fixed broadband
deployment data. The updated analysis reveals substantial growth in
broadband availability since 2013 at the 25 Mbps downstream/3 Mbps
upstream speed level, likely attributable to a modest increase in
the number of providers at lower speed levels and an upgrade in the
offerings of existing providers from lower speed levels. Dr.
