Re: Is is true that 92% of us can order Cable Internet? said by Karl Bode:Before we spend billions or do anything -- we need to seriously map who has service -- and who does not. We have a Decennial Census coming up here shortly -- couldn't we just add a couple questions to that and kill 2 birds with one stone?
Sure, it's not going to be all that accurate, but it's not like any other sampling method is going to gain much ground on the accuracy front. |

Annapolis, MD | I do projects for the Census Bureau on occasion. They're the standard government bureaucracy. No way they'd get that question in by the Decennial.
However, the Census Bureau has several survey programs - the full person Decennial count is just the Big One. With the right inside ear, it's feasible that could be added to something like the ACS Survey.
I'll have to remember to ask about that

| If I remember correctly, the most recent mapping bill by Congress does put some mapping authority into both the hands of the GTO and the Census Bureau already.... |
