Where the numbers come from
Applicants and requests count Category 2 funding requests (internal connections, managed internal broadband services and basic maintenance) since funding year 2026 that weren't denied or cancelled, using USAC's FRN status data. Form 470s count certified, uncancelled Category 2 forms for funding year 2027. Each state page adds every applicant's remaining budget, worked out as in our C2 budget lookup.
