Long Lines state-reach reading
Long Lines opens on geographic reach: #73 of 2,138 filers by states with filings (4 states), with 2,546 records behind that footprint.
Among 2,138 Form 477 providers on this site, Long Lines 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 77.6% of Long Lines's filings (1,975 of 2,546), 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.
