As broadband stakeholders accelerate deployments across the country, precision matters. In addition to providing the Location Fabric data for the FCC’s Broadband Map and the National Telecommunications and Information Administration’s (NTIA’s) Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) program, CostQuest also creates industry-specific Fabric datasets that tie network cost, competition information, service availability, NPV, demographic data and more to each Broadband Serviceable Location. Through a partnership with NTCA, CostQuest is offering NTCA members discounted pricing on all CostQuest Fabric data.
CostQuest’s Broadband Fabric datasets provide definitive, location-level insights that help NTCA members plan, build and operate broadband networks efficiently from start to finish. The Broadband Fabric includes the coordinates and addresses of all Broadband Serviceable Locations (BSLs), and it is tied with other essential insights at the point level, such as network cost, service availability, competition, demographics, and more. Having cost and competitive data at the household level allows providers to prioritize investments, mitigate risk, and improve efficiency of build and spend, putting those precious dollars to good use.
Discount to NTCA members
Through this partnership with NTCA, CostQuest is offering NTCA Members:
- Broadband Fabric Location Data and additional market intelligence data layers, such as network cost (Fiber & Fixed Wireless), BDC service availability, demographics, and more for each Broadband Serviceable Location.
- 10% discount off list pricing.
How CostQuest has worked with NTCA
CostQuest is working with NTCA on a process to collect updated data on network and operating costs from NTCA members that could help inform future improvements to the Alternative Connect America Cost Model (A-CAM). This collaboration supports better cost modeling inputs and ultimately more effective funding and deployment outcomes for rural providers.
Why the Broadband Fabric matters
- Built for accuracy and action: The Fabric is the backbone for the FCC’s Broadband Maps and NTIA’s BEAD program, giving providers a trusted base layer for eligibility, design, and funding strategies.
- Market intelligence at the location level: Access modeled network costs, competitive presence and NPV insights – aligned to each serviceable location.
- Spatially focused, actively developed: CostQuest’s Fabric ecosystem is focused on structure-level location precision and designed for easy integration with applications and business systems.
