Straight Forward Broadband state-reach reading

Straight Forward Broadband opens on geographic reach: #488 of 2,138 filers by states with filings (1 state), with 36 records behind that footprint.

Straight Forward Broadband 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.

Tennessee alone accounts for 100.0% of Straight Forward Broadband's filings (36 of 36), 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.
