[1st-mile-nm] Fwd: [NICAR-L] shameless self promotion

[Tom Johnson]

fyi


Folks,

American University's Investigative Reporting Workshop just dumped county
and census-tract level government broadband adoption data joined to
polygons, census demographics, and (for tracts) the USDA's rurality scale.
Also see a national map of broadband adoption (the government omits this
data from their national broadband map) and a story about it (with a timely
assist from the Center for Public Integrity). Stats nerds take note: we
estimated the citywide broadband adoption rates in the chart linked below
by Monte Carlo simulation.

Feel free to harangue me off list.
