We all have eclipse on the brain, so I thought it’d be fun to look at some eclipse broadband stats. In the path of totality, 8% of locations are either unserved or underserved according to the NTIA definition of reliable broadband. That’s just over 1 million locations out of 11.9 million locations in the path of totality in total. If the path of totality were a state, it would be ranked 19th in terms of access to broadband.
Fun newsletter! (Particularly since I am up near Burlington, VT, right in the path of totality!) The question will be how much of that broadband gets saturated with everyone live streaming the eclipse to Facebook, Instagram, Twitch, TikTok, etc! 🤣 Although broadband networks might be okay, but the mobile networks will probably get swamped.
