Yikez! There is a solution!

State and local governments are left without the information needed to help improve geographical broadband coverage, and attempts to correct this are shot down by deep-pocketed lobbyists. So what's the solution? .
Just put a question on the next census form asking if the household has broadband and a couple check boxes for speed. Then their will be a national map of broadband coverage.

Even if they did have data on broadband in the US... would they do anything with it (anything to fix the problem that is) ?

Good solution for a quick snapshot, but a few problems with using the census is;

1: It's only conducted every 10 years. Pretty much an eternity in the tech world.

2: A lot of people would have no idea what broadband is, or if they have it. The data would be um, mildly unreliable...
