The attached file includes the Federal Communication Commission’s Broadband Availability Map Fabric (“Fabric”) Location IDs of served locations, which either already have qualifying broadband access or are in an existing state or federally funded project area. As determined through initial analysis by the Office of Broadband, these locations have broadband access as set out in the Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment Program (BEAD). Separate files are also on the Open Data Portal for unserved and underserved locations. These Location IDs correspond with Version 2 of the Fabric. To download the Fabric, eligible entities must execute a license agreement with CostQuest Associates. General information about this Fabric is available at https://www.costquest.com/broadband-serviceable-location-fabric/.
Broadband providers must secure a Tier D License from CostQuest to view the statewide fabric. Please visit

Local governments and Non-Profits must secure a Tier E License from CostQuest to view the statewide fabric. Please visit https://apps.costquest.com/ntiatiererequest/ for more information
These Fabric Location IDs are provided for local governments, non-profit organizations, and internet service providers to analyze for purposes of the upcoming BEAD challenge process, as outlined in Virginia’s BEAD Initial Proposal Volume 1. Please visit the Virginia Telecommunication Initiative website for more information.
Please note the final list of Served BEAD Eligible Fabric Location IDs will be published following the BEAD challenge process. Also, please note the Office of Broadband is seeking the authority to publish the physical address which corresponds with each BEAD Eligible Fabric Location ID. This file will be updated as permission is gained or clarified otherwise.
