Re: Not a surprise

Ok, so lets suppose we do add the questions to the census and we get actual data from those questions. Who determines what questions are asked and how do you structure those questions to get usable technical data?

Remember that there are still questions as to what Broadband really means. If the "experts" are still not on the same page, how do you expect any data from the public to shed light on this?

Create a set of questions like:

1) Do you have Internet service
2) If the answer to #1 was "yes", is your connection:
    _ Dial-up
    _ Less than 1Mbps download
    _ Greater than 1Mbps but less than 10Mbps download
    _ Greater than 10 Mbps download

Or something to that effect.
