Will we need to figure out the correct census tract for each of our customers? And I looked up the tract that I live in (quickly, at http:// factfinder.census.gov/servlet/AGSGeoAddressServlet ). It seems to be tract #314.01, about 10 miles across by 5 miles high. I don't see that as more accurate than zip code. Not meaning to criticize this change/improvement. Just looking for more details. -John On March 19, at 10:11 PM March 19, George Rogato wrote: > http://news.yahoo.com/s/pcworld/20080319/tc_pcworld/ > 143619;_ylt=Arm6Nh.9uPFRIzMCaVig6nMjtBAF > > The new plan would measure broadband availability by Census tract, a > geographic area that's typically significantly smaller than a Zip > Code. > And the agency will break out five speed tiers in its upcoming > broadband > reports, the lowest tier being 200K bps to 768K bps and the fastest > tier > more than 6M bps. > > ---------- > > At least they are making an effort ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- WISPA Wants You!
