Yikez! There is a solution!
State and local governments are left without the information needed to help improve geographical broadband coverage, and attempts to correct this are shot down by deep-pocketed lobbyists. So what's the solution? . Just put a question on the next census form asking if the household has broadband and a couple check boxes for speed. Then their will be a national map of broadband coverage.

Then their will be a national map of broadband coverage. Good solution for a quick snapshot, but a few problems with using the census is;
1: It's only conducted every 10 years. Pretty much an eternity in the tech world.
2: A lot of people would have no idea what broadband is, or if they have it. The data would be um, mildly unreliable...
