So why should the FCC spend taxpayer dollars to get info that is already available to anyone who wants it?
If it's "readily available" (and I don't think it is), then the FCC shouldn't need to spend much, if any money to get it, should they?

The FCC needs that information in order to ensure compliance with the 1996 Telecomm Act. Which is, of course, why Martin is loathe to determine accurate penetration data: if such data showed the broadband wasn't being deployeed in a timely manner, the Telecomm Act would compell the FCC to actually do something about it, and that's something he wants to avoid at all costs. Ideology always triumphs over reality.

All that website shows is what ISP's serve a given city.
