Report Highlights Problems with Broadband Mapping in Rural Areas

The Broadband Alliance of Mendocino County and Access Sonoma Broadband called the report a “watershed finding” that substantiates work done over the past two years by the two county organizations. Working collaboratively, Mendocino and Sonoma counties have developed credible information showing that the broadband maps don’t depict actual conditions in many areas of both counties. Schools, libraries, public safety, health care all must cope with substandard broadband throughout much of Northern California, and rural areas throughout the state, the groups said.
