Open Government at the FCC

Flagship Initiative: Measuring Broadband America

Working collaboratively with industry, academia, public interest organizations and others, the FCC’s Measuring Broadband America program develops open and transparent platforms for measuring broadband performance and releasing Open Data solutions driven by the contributions of volunteers from across the country. The FCC Speed Test App for Android and iPhone extends the MBA’s four-year history measuring consumers’ fixed broadband performance to measure the mobile broadband performance of volunteers throughout the US using crowd-sourced smartphone applications. The app test volunteers upload and download speed, latency and packet loss, as well as the wireless performance characteristics of the broadband connection and the kind of handsets and versions of operating systems tested.
