What does current FCC data (December 31, 2025) show for Net NV in Douglas County?

The newest FCC Broadband Data Collection data, as of December 31, 2025 and read October 16, 2026, shows that in Douglas County Net NV reported unlicensed fixed wireless at 410 locations (highest tier filed: up to 10 Mbps down, up to 1 Mbps up). None of the Net NV rows in Douglas County was filed at the FCC's 100/20 benchmark. Against those Net NV rows, the full Douglas County count on the map is 23,497 locations.

Read as one county for anyone weighing Net NV, the newest filings put a wired 100/20 tier at 22,028 of 23,497 locations in Douglas County and a fixed wireless 100/20 tier at 22,183, from 9 fixed wireless filers. The overlap is large; the 1,259 locations where a fixed wireless filing stood alone at that level are where a tower link fills a gap on the FCC's own map; separately, 13 had no land-based filing at 25/3 or better, leaving satellite as the only reported option. Douglas County location counts are buildings, not homes or customers, and they come from each company's own filing to the FCC, Net NV's among them. Next to the Net NV rows, High Desert's towers are not described anywhere in these files, so its answer for a Douglas County address still comes from a person checking the path.
