Re: Point Has Merit said by PhoenixDown:The people are stating that broadband IS NOT available and want to build out municipal networks. Well if these people know that they cannot get broadband, then what is the point of the map telling them what they already know? What is stopping them from acting as private citizens to build their own network?

| Because the data is already there and available to be parsed. It would cost them peanuts to provide this information so that local governments could actually decide what services are being provided to their community.
Or should the governments have every person sit down, enter in their address to these websites, let it calculate, and then enter it into their own database.
Its a waste of freaking money to have the information sitting there unused and intentionally hidden. |

Let the people who really care about this information sit at their keyboards and man the phones and go through every address to find it.
If they find problems or discrepancies with the information, they can make every attempt to resolve it themselves.

Well most private citizens are middle class and dont have the money the telecos have. the Telecos take all this money and never spend it which ends up lining the pockets of the rich private citzens rather than expanding their networks. |
