[1st-mile-nm] Fwd: Re: [NDIA Listserv] FCC updates: Map, public comment on a challenge process -- FCC mobile map badly flawed

[Richard Lowenberg]

I'm forwarding (excerpted) recent postings to the NDIA listserve,
from Elizabeth Belding, PhD, with links to recent studies and works
in NM, of relevance to this list.

The NSF-funded PuebloConnect project <https://puebloconnect.cs.ucsb.edu>
has numerous NM partners/participants, including the Community Learning
Network  <https://www.communitylearningnetwork.org/>.

Map, public comment on a challenge process -- FCC mobile map badly

We wrote a paper on this topic recently backed up with some field 
measurements in New Mexico and California.  It points out that typical 
coverage in rural areas is often worse than heavily congested coverage 
in urban areas because coverage is so poor in the rural areas… often too 
poor for any sort of video application needed for home work or 
schooling.

The paper is openly linked here:
https://ebelding.cs.ucsb.edu/sites/default/files/publications/icccn_2021_coverage_is_not_binary.pdf
It was published in the IEEE ICCCN 2021 conference.

We have a number of projects you might be interested in learning more
about.  One of them is the NSF-funded PuebloConnect project, discussed
here: https://puebloconnect.cs.ucsb.edu/about/
