Eastlight LC filing-volume reading
Among 2,138 Form 477 providers on this site, Eastlight LC sits in the upper third by record volume (≥ 2,064). Large books usually mean many census blocks marked served, not that every block has active subscribers.
Iowa alone accounts for 100.0% of Eastlight LC's filings (8,063 of 8,063), 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.
