Evidence topology

Where this record enters the observatory

4 active routes / 4 not encoded

A zero means this source has no encoded row in that evidence domain. It is a boundary in the current observatory release, not a claim that the underlying institution publishes no relevant evidence. Indicator observations are shown as a separate normalized route and are not added to direct-domain totals.

Fixed Broadband Concentration Across Geographic Scales, 2020-2024

A source-backed research brief on nine FCC fixed-broadband reporting periods, the divergent paths of national and subnational median HHI, and the public evidence needed to move from geographic screens to mechanisms and outcomes.

Federal Communications Commission Internet Access Services Figure 5, covering nine semiannual reporting periods from December 2020 through December 2024 for residential fixed connections meeting the 100/20 Mbps threshold. The packet preserves the national HHI and medians of separately calculated state, county, and census-tract HHIs as distinct geographic summaries.

Use the source at its encoded scope

A source dossier documents how this observatory uses one public record. It does not endorse every claim in that record, make unlike measures comparable, or extend the source beyond its stated product, geography, population, and vintage.
