44. We next estimate the percentage of the U.S. population, land area, and road miles
covered by a certain number of facilities-based mobile wireless service providers based on the Mosaik
data (Tables 4-5).48 Map 3 below depicts an estimate of the areas of the United States covered by a
certain number of facilities-based providers. More detailed regional maps, as well as an enlarged version
of Map 3 below, are available in Appendix C. As stated above, these estimates of coverage represent
deployment of mobile wireless networks and do not indicate the extent to which providers actually offer
service to residents in the covered areas.
147For purposes of this, and earlier, Mobile Wireless Competition Reports, we include coverage by WCDMA/HSPA,
HSPA+, EV-DO, WiMAX, and LTE networks within our estimate of mobile broadband network coverage.
Commission estimates based on census block analysis of Mosaik CoverageRight coverage maps, April 2011,
January 2012, and October 2012. Population data are from the 2010 Census. Estimates for 2009 and 2010 are
obtained from the Fifteenth Report. Fifteenth Report, 25 FCC Red at 9702 45. The recent Broadband Progress
Report did not include WCDMA/HSPA or EV-DO networks in its definition of mobile broadband networks. 2012

148 Our analysis of road miles includes the following road miles categories from census: Primary Road (SI 100),
Secondary Road (S 1200), Local Neighborhood Road, Rural Road, City Street (S1400), Vehicular Trail [4WD]
(S1500), Service Drive usually along a limited access highway (S1640), and Private Road for service vehicles
(S1740) as defined in MAF/TIGER Feature Class Code (MTFCC) Definitions, pages F-186 and F-187 at
http:// ww.census. ovi~/eo/'w~ \ itieerit Lrshp2010/documentation.htmi (last visited Sep 26, 2012). In calculating
the number of road miles associated with each census block, we also used two tables ("Faces" and "Edges"),
published by the US Census Bureau as part of the TIGER database. A description of these relationship tables can be
found at http:/www.census.jigeo!w.wwitiger/rel file desc.pdt: The datasets themselves are available in the
FACES and EDGES directories at itp:/iftp2.ccnsus.co!ieo/tri IIGIE1R2010' (visited Nov. 19, 2012).3745
