911 address level data is not universally available! 

 

Some states and counties either don’t publish it or require you to buy the 
data. The quality is not standardized either. Drives me crazy when in the 
middle of a project and one stupid county hasn’t published their data when 
everyone around them has. You will also find that the address points in many 
counties only code to that section of road frontage, not the actual structure.

 

Thank You,

Right now NY State is funding construction in areas that have service because 
those service providers failed to supply any 477 data at all.  They're also NOT 
funding construction in places that DON'T have service because someone touches 
the census block but doesn't serve everybody.

 

IMO, IF they're going to put public money into it, they either need to require 
that you only claim census blocks when you serve the entire thing, or do 
something more granular than census blocks.  I don't know how hard this is in 
other states, but I can easily get E911 locations and compare to where service 
is available.  It takes a trivial amount of time with GIS software.

 

Whether public money should be invested this way at all is a different 
question.  I'm just saying IF they're going to do it, then census blocks is not 
accurate enough.  Also, whatever they ask for you should submit it, otherwise 
you'll have somebody building on top of you with public money.

Each street address or household? Are you kidding me? These tech sites are so 
misguided as far as ISPs go it is pathetic.
