Kill two birds with one stone. The only problem with that is most people are uncomfortable with letting total strangers into their houses to verify broadband connectivity.
The other problem that I think merits mentioning is that what we think of as broadband is changing. Most of us think of broadband as strictly a wired service connected to one or more desktop or laptop computers.
What about smartphone users with unlimited data?
What about MiFi type device users? Should they count as broadband too?
Does having access to 3G or 4G wireless service count as broadband? If it does, does that change what the broadband availability map of the US might look like? etc. -- "Net Neutrality" zealots - the people you can thank for your capped Internet service. |
