TMI and Form 477Many of you already know that Technologies Management, Inc. manages and files Form 477 data.  You may not know that for the March 2015 filing, we performed census track/block lookups for more than 3 million subscriber addresses for over 100 companies using TMI’s proprietary processes along with industry standard software and data from the US Census Bureau.  As the deadline for the next Form 477 filing approaches, we wanted to take this opportunity to provide a few important details via our blog.

The upcoming FCC Form 477 report will reflect your company’s voice and/or broadband subscriptions in service as of June 30, 2015 – less than one month from now. To ensure that you meet the September 1, 2015 filing deadline and avoid potential FCC penalties, you really need to begin planning for the filing now. (TMI Regulatory Bulletin Subscribers see FCC Bulletin dated 3/12/15)

 

Federal Communications CommissionIf you provide facilities-based broadband services you need to determine if you have the appropriate plans in place to update your broadband deployment file. Accurate broadband deployment data is important both to comply with FCC requirements and to ensure that prospective customers are aware of your broadband footprint, as indicated on the National Broadband Map. 

National Broadband MapAs a reminder, if you provide one or more of the following services must file the Form 477: 

  • Facilities-Based Broadband 
  • Local Exchange Telephone Service 
  • Interconnected Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) Service
  • Facilities-Based Mobile Telephony Services
