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.
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...

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