Let's see:

1. Do something about $4+ a gallon gas.
2. Do something about all the food crops being wasted on fuel production.
3. Do something about the 20+ million illegal aliens infesting our country and bankrupting taxpayers.
4. Do something about the lack of new electrical generation capacity that is sorely needed in this country.

I am sure there are many more things that can be added to this list, but I think resolving the above problems are slightly more important than knowing where broadband is available.

However, I personally have solved the problem of people not knowing whether or not broadband is available in their area. Simply follow the links in the linked post and you can find out all the information you need (hopefully the links still work).

That would help considering the Democrat Party is floating a proposal to raise the gas tax.

Oh wait. Why would they care? They get their gas tax free as it stands now.

Sad part id #3 is not causing bankruptcies but the govt printing money for economic stimulus and wars is... I am sure you won't mind US farmers moving their operations to Mexico as some are already doing or paying a few bucks more per quart of strawberries or other fruit that is very labor intensive. Heck - I am even sure if there are enough legal aliens or US workers who would even take the job. Believe it or not - there are benefits to this society - that being cheap labor. Removal of cheap labor means inflation and higher costs and struggling to find workers to do those jobs.

In all honesty, I think one of the absolute last things on the governments "to do" list should be mapping the residential broadband deployments of private companies. It serves no point whatsoever, costs taxpayers money, and would likely add to the charges telco's/ISP's include on their bills (broadband mapping fee anyone?). Unless you live under a rock, you likely know what broadband providers service your area. Assuming you live in an area with no broadband, having a map showing you that there is no broadband available is of no use at all.

Oh yea, please improve health care, they've done such a good job in stream lining all their other agencies, please take a crack at 'fixing' health care.

I can only imagine what kind of service you'd get from a industry that can't recruit enough workers now to meet demand.
