ZIP Code metric not unreasonable

The FCC's ZIP Code metric wasn't an accurate way of measuring broadband availability before cellular providers could offer usable connection speeds though their phones. However, with more providers (Sprint and Verizon) offering higher speed wireless connections, it might now be possible to say if one person in a ZIP Code could get such service, then all people could.

3G wireless technologies are only just now being deployed, and only in major markets. Sprint's EVDO technology is barely launched. Unlimited data plans cost in excess of $80. Rural or even secondary urban markets will not be served any-time soon.

It's also possible to say dumptrucks have feelings. That wouldn't make it true.
