Cross-domain evidence graph
Observatory atlas
Follow documented connections between markets, firms, places, publications, and sources. A connection shows a recorded relationship, not that two measures describe the same market.

One FCC release provides a useful scale comparison, but the national value and medians of area-level HHIs remain different summary statistics. The state, county, and tract rows are medians of separate area HHIs, not components that average to the national HHI. Reporting geographies are screening units, not presumed legal broadband markets.
Open canonical profileNo indicator row is keyed directly to this profile. These analytical contexts are one declared graph hop away.

Relationship ledger
Every plotted line remains an inspectable record
32 edges survive the current focus, depth, node-type, layer, and semantic-type contract.
FCC Figure 5 reports provider-share HHI at the national level and the median of separately calculated state, county, and census-tract HHIs. Areas without at least one qualifying connection are excluded, and previously published values may have been revised.
Use the source-reported December national HHI as the annual market-profile anchor; retain subnational medians in the linked geographic series.
Internet Access Services: Status as of December 31 2024 supports the profile's definition, observation.
U.S. residential fixed broadband access has 5 exact Market HHI rows spanning 2020-2024 across 1 registered source.
U.S. residential fixed broadband access is an explicitly curated member of the Communications infrastructure research program while retaining its own product boundary, geography, denominator, and comparison contract.
Q08 is framed by Residential fixed broadband County median and resolves to the canonical fixed-broadband-hhi indicator dossier.
Q11 is framed by Residential fixed broadband National HHI and resolves to the canonical fixed-broadband-hhi indicator dossier.
Q09 is framed by Residential fixed broadband State median and resolves to the canonical fixed-broadband-hhi indicator dossier.
Q07 is framed by Residential fixed broadband Tract median and resolves to the canonical fixed-broadband-hhi indicator dossier.
AR-CI-2026-01 contains at least one signal whose canonical entity route resolves exactly to U.S. residential fixed broadband access; broader topic similarity is not used.
Fixed Broadband Concentration Across Geographic Scales, 2020-2024 explicitly lists U.S. residential fixed broadband access in its related-market scope.
Internet Access Services: Status as of December 31 2024 appears in the source-custodied signal packet for AR-CI-2026-05.

Graph contract
Relationship families stay separate
The atlas joins routes through encoded custody and context, never through name resemblance or an inferred corporate, legal, or causal relationship.
The atlas exposes only relationships declared in the current public data. A link or issue grouping does not make unlike measures comparable, establish ownership or control, define an antitrust market, assign liability, or show that a policy event caused an economic outcome.
Reusable graph packet
Carry node and edge custody into analysis
The packet preserves node type, canonical route, relationship family, source link, evidence label, confidence, and edge-specific guardrail.
