Community Internet Service state-reach reading
Community Internet Service sits in the middle third of Form 477 providers by record volume (329–2,064). Mid-pack filers often mix dense local markets with thin out-of-state blocks under the same holding name.
Iowa alone accounts for 98.2% of Community Internet Service's filings (333 of 339), a concentrated book where one state can swing the national picture. Form 477 historically let providers mark a whole census block from a single reachable address; treat these counts as declared capability, not address-level availability, speed, or price.
