| I do not call it available I don't think you can say broad band is "available" in an area until there are at least 2 home user priced options there.
Having only one is not broadband availability, it is broadband monopoly.
And I agree, there is just no way in hell 88% of the country is wired.

Maineville, OH | I second that one. I only have one broadband option in my area. And there are many places in the same zip code that have none.
I think they should make it over 2/3 of a zip code wired to call it available. At the least.

| And I think anything less than 100% of the homes and businesses in a given area is "limited availability", not available. |

You are too kind. I think you should have to meet all of these criteria to declare broadband "available":
- 100% of the homes
- have service at better than a standard speed (let's say 512Kbps in each direction)
- and pay less than a standard price (let's say $100 a month).
