Re: Call me simple.

said by MrMoody See Profile :

They key (and tough part) would be to get people who have NO broadband available to report their location.

This is a good idea, though.
wouldn't the places where there are no broadband options show up as empty spots on the map? or at least very spare spots?
which, in turn, would give us that same information that we're looking for?

though, if this idea (which is what i like to call and "Epic Win" idea) were done, you would have to allow some way to also note how many different providers there were available at that location too... to allow a good visualization of what exactly the actual competitive status of the area is.

Sort of, but an empty spot wouldn't prove unavailability there, nor give any indication of how many (if any) people live there.
