But couldn't some not for profit just create a google map mashup with that information? Just have folks go to their site and enter some information and get a pretty accurate reading on broadband areas. Would take some time and lots of advertising but I would think it would be pretty accurate.
Good idea.

Better, validate via speedtest that isn't subsidized.

Nothing is infallible.

The prob is that it takes user participation...most of us "just don't care" - 60% according to the latest voting polls. The business model of telephone and cable and probably cellular is that the bulk of customers don't switch. It's simple enough.

Why would the 60% care enough to show they are broadband connected if they are otherwise happy?
