Broadband mapping organization Connected Nation has come under fire for being little more than a baby bell policy vehicle. Primarily those complaints come from consumer advocates, who say the group overstates their success rates in certain states (like Kentucky, where they claim there's close to 100% broadband penetration) in order to help the baby bells fend off regulation that would increase competition and lower revenues. But apparently cable operators are now speaking out against the group as well:It's an interesting move, given one of Comcast's biggest lobbying chiefs sits on the groups board of directors, suggesting that perhaps somebody simply didn't get a memo. Despite the setback, the group continues to woo lawmakers in a number of states (most recently Texas), and could still grab the lion's share of the $300 million portion of the broadband stimulus money assigned for broadband mapping.
