PUNTA GORDA, Fla. – August 1, 2026 – Map4.net today announced that Joink, LLC, a growing Midwest fiber network operator, has become a client of the Map4 E-Rate Query Tool and related professional services. The engagement gives Joink’s sales and proposal teams real-time access to USAC Form 470 and 471 data, funding estimates, school and library eligibility insights, and ROI modeling designed specifically for fiber and special-construction opportunities.
Joink, which operates under SPIN 143037279 and is backed by DIF Capital Partners, continues to expand its footprint across Indiana and surrounding states. By integrating Map4’s platform into its workflow, Joink can more rapidly identify high-value E-Rate opportunities, prepare competitive Category 1 responses, and quantify the impact of special construction funding on network build decisions.
