Nex-Tech Questions BDC Bulk Mobile Challenge Process
In a letter to the FCC, NRTC member Nex-Tech Wireless shared the results of road trials of 5G connectivity in rural Kansas in response to the FCC’s investigation of the Broadband Data Collection (BDC) bulk challenge process. It found in a large majority of areas where national carriers claim to provide 5G service, connections fall below 7/1 Mbps speeds. However, bulk challenges to carrier claims have not resulted in changes to the Commission’s National Broadband Map. Other organizations made similar claims in comments to the FCC earlier this year.
