It surprising what I come across when searching for news about companies such as Verizon. The info above is just one example: I found this page during a search for info about "Cellco Partners," which does business as "Verizon Wireless."



If anyone who reads this is familiar with the matter, please tell me what was assessed, and why. Thanks for your help.

I can't answer your question, but I would assume, since the assessment was based in Virginia (from your link), perhaps they are assessing network coverage in the state from cellular providers?

I have to add that I find it interesting that "Appalachian Wireless" still maintains their own network, independent from the now "Big 3" AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile/Sprint. I was aware that US Cellular had their own network, but I thought that all of the local/regional wireless providers (aside from MVNO's) were gobbled up years ago. Apparently, there are a few others.

Appalachian Wireless, in specific, serving parts of Kentucky and WV, is turning off their CDMA network at the end of 2022 (like many other companies), even though Wikipedia claims that all of their voice service only runs through CDMA (not LTE).
