Federal Communications Commission in Rhode Island

A mid-thick FCC file on Rhode Island

Federal Communications Commission as awarding agency, Rhode Island as place-of-performance: 1,374 records summing to $67,502,307.33. A Federal Communications Commission award coded outside RI is out. An award in Rhode Island from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Rhode Island (RI) excludes Massachusetts and Connecticut. A Boston-coded award is MA even if a tower sits in Providence. Bureaus inside awarding agency 027 are unpublished. Universal-service names are not packet facts.

One thousand three hundred seventy-four awards against $67,502,307.33 is a mid-thick FCC file, close to New Hampshire’s 1,435-row cell and still not unique locations. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 1,374 as 1,374 unique broadband locations, named carriers, or unique licenses. The overlay Federal Communications Commission in Rhode Island is the both-keys table. Rhode Island federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Federal Communications Commission is the agency book without an RI filter. All spending ties lists other joins. Named carriers are unpublished. Do not treat 1,374 as unique Rhode Island households or as a Providence-versus-rest split. Correlation is not causation: Rhode Island did not cause $67,502,307.33 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 027 × RI only.

Not unique addresses or named carriers

$67,502,307.33 does not measure unique broadband locations, named carriers, or unique licenses. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 027 and an RI place-of-performance tag. Bureaus inside awarding agency 027 are unpublished. Universal-service names are not packet facts.

Do not treat 1,374 awards as a census of unique broadband locations, named carriers, or unique licenses. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Rhode Island federal spending or Federal Communications Commission matched $67,502,307.33 and 1,374, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Massachusetts and Connecticut FCC joins are other pairs, not addends. A small state can still host a thick FCC file. Row count is not unique licenses.
