Ryan Grewell, who runs a small wi-fi Web service supplier in Ohio, final month obtained an e mail that confirmed a few of his worst suspicions about cable corporations.

Grewell, founder and common supervisor of Good Manner Communications, had heard from a few of his clients that the Federal Communications Fee’s new broadband map falsely claimed fiber Web service was out there at their houses from one other firm known as Jefferson County Cable.
