Abstract

Mobile Broadband Coverage in Nebraska

• Is mobile broadband coverage available throughout Nebraska?
• Is there a difference between rural and urban areas with respect to mobile wireless speed?
• Should mobile wireless coverage be classified as broadband?

These are some of the questions that were answered by an August 2015 Nebraska Public Service Commission (PSC) report. The study, which began in October 2013, was part of the Nebraska Broadband Initiative efforts to facilitate the integration of broadband and information technology into state and local economics.
