How to read this West Virginia data
Data source: USAC Lifeline program data at https://www.usac.org/lifeline/resources/program-data/. Study Area Name is the legal or study-area label in the source data, not always the consumer brand name.
Glossary source: Lifeline Disbursements Dataset Glossary, last updated September 22, 2020. USAC describes this dataset as monthly Lifeline Program dollars disbursed to Eligible Telecommunications Carriers (ETCs) since January 2018. The glossary says the fields are self-reported by program applicants and that missing values usually occur where a field was not required.
Subscriber Count is summed across claim rows. Use it as subscriber-month claim volume, not as a unique count of people in West Virginia.
For eligibility demand, use this with the State of Lifeline report and the West Virginia Lifeline guide.
