It has issued an order that will terminate the collection of broadband deployment data through Form 477 effective upon publication of this Order in the Federal Register. Instead, the FCC will require that providers submit broadband deployment data through the Broadband Data Collection Process for that information. The FCC will continue to collect broadband and voice subscription data using the FCC Form 477, but filers will submit their data through the BDC system.<br>
<br>
The FCC now has a process in place for collecting more precise location-specific data than what was used for the Form 477 process.<br>
<br>
Going forward, the BDC system, rather than the Form 477 filing platform, will be used for the submission of both the subscription data collected for Form 477 and the availability data collected for the BDC. Beginning with the data as of December 31, 2022, providers are required to submit the following data using the BDC filing system: fixed and mobile broadband and voice Form 477 subscription data, fixed and mobile BDC broadband availability data, BDC mobile voice availability data. The Form 477 filing system will no longer be used to collect new Form 477 submissions and will remain open only for filers to make corrections to existing Form 477 filings.<br>
(See paragraphs 12 and 13 of attached order for additional details).<br>
