SiFiBE state-reach reading
SiFiBE opens on geographic reach: #488 of 2,138 filers by states with filings (1 state), with 50 records behind that footprint.
SiFiBE sits in the lower third of Form 477 providers by record volume (< 329). Thin filing books still matter when they dominate one state or a niche technology pocket rather than a national residential footprint.
Illinois alone accounts for 100.0% of SiFiBE's filings (50 of 50), 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.
