    ***** Moderator's Note *****

    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).
