[1st-mile-nm] Industry lobbying keeps public in dark about broadband - Connected: Rural, poor areas lag in broadband | Investigative Reporting Workshop

[Steve Ross]

Many states have built upon the national broadband map the same way --
adding economic and demographic information. The last day of this year's
Broadband Summit, April 28, will have a number of sessions on mapping, with
speakers from the best state programs. I've just finished a bunch of large
display boards featuring a half-dozen particularly good mapping ideas. If
anyone wants to come to Dallas for the Summit (www.bbcmag.com), let me
know. I may be able to get you in free.

One trap in the federal data -- there are a lot of errors and a nationwide
update, the first in a year, is scheduled for next week.
