Why

I do not see the necessity government involvement in this issue.gathering broadband data is up there with earmarks to study bear DNA.

This is just a back door for someone to justify an broadband entitlement or regulation in the free market.

Some people just think broadband companies should be forced to wire an outhouse.

Well, you think broadband is a frivolous luxury, good only for generating revenue for providers, and trivial entertainment for customers. With that POV, it would be as important for the government to perform an invetory on broadband as it would be, say, to do an inventory on the number of Starbucks in an area.

But about the only one who agrees with you are telco lobbyists, seeking to avoid any requirement to serve the public (perhaps you are one). Most everyone agrees that today, broadband is vital to economic development and education. Government interest in this is as relevent as its interest in a reliable power grid, functioning financial markets, and good roads.
