Most of this has been hashed over before, but there are two problems I
see with their suggestions.
First every communications company would be giving away essential
customer information if they had to report customers by zip or even
worse zip+4 along with speeds of those customers, especially if cost was
included as well.
If any report was going to be made public that had any real information
in it, it would require that type of granularity to be published. In
addition there has been one attempt to get access to the raw 477 data
already and if a company could get this granular of data I can bet there
would be a lot more concerted effort to get this data via the public
documents act.
The other statistic, homes passed, would be an interesting one to try to
calculate. Even if I could reliably get an answer of how many homes I
could service if they wanted, I don't think it is the communication
carrier's job to go around counting homes in their coverage area so they
can report it to the federal government.

Thought the list might like to see CWA's idea of reporting the FCC form 477.
Additional info would be tiers of users, number of homes passed, speed
tests, number of users by Zip +4, speed tests and a host of other goodies.
Seems like CWA wants market research to find out size of Broadband providers
and where to organize.
