The Broadband Radio Service (BRS), formerly known as the Multipoint Distribution Service (MDS)/Multichannel Multipoint Distribution Service (MMDS), is a commercial service. In the past, it was generally used for the transmission of data and video programming to subscribers using high-powered systems, also known as wireless cable. However, over the years, the uses have evolved to include digital two-way systems capable of providing high-speed, high-capacity broadband service, including two-way Internet service via cellularized communication systems. Such services provide consumers integrated access to voice, high-speed data, video-on-demand, and interactive delivery services from a wireless device. The Educational Broadband Service (EBS), formerly known as the Instructional Television Fixed Service (ITFS), is an educational service that has generally been used for the transmission of instructional material to accredited educational institutions and non-educational institutions such as hospitals, nursing homes, training centers, and rehabilitation centers using high-powered systems. Our recent revamping of the EBS spectrum will now make it possible for EBS users to continue their instructional services utilizing low-power broadband systems while also providing students with high-speed internet access.

SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION
Users of this feature class, BRS_EBS_Transmitters, should exercise caution in using this data. During review of this feature class in September 2016, multiple issues were noted. These include 1) MEDS (mission essential data set) equivalent attributes of LOCADD, LOCCOUNTY, LOCCITY, and LOCSTATE were only 20-24% populated with actual values, 2) STRUCTYPE, SUPSTRUC, and TOWREG (attributes that refer to the transmitter tower characteristics) were only 4.5-9% populated with actual values, 3) QZONE and NEPA were populated with 1% to 8% actual values, 4) There was insufficient information in the address attributes and in the metadata to be useful for validating the geolocation of transmitters, and 5) attribute fields were insufficiently defined in the metadata. If you are using this dataset as a shapefile, please be aware that it was converted from a Geodatabase. As a result, this shapefile may have attribution and metadata errors resulting from the conversion process. The following are known issues: null values may have been changed to 0s (zeros) or to blank values, numbers (including latitude and longitude) may have been rounded up or down, there may be issues with Unicode character strings, and time cannot be stored in a date field. Field names may have been truncated to no longer than 10 characters or completely changed, lengthy string attributes may have been truncated to 254 characters, and attribute columns may have been deleted. Shapefiles do not support coded domains and subtypes therefore the original file geodatabase attribution and metadata information for coded domains and subtypes could be incorrect or missing in the shapefile version. Please visit the following ESRI website for more information:
