fyi<br><br><div class="gmail_quote"><br>Folks,<br><br>American University's Investigative Reporting Workshop just dumped 
county and census-tract level government broadband adoption data joined 
to polygons, census demographics, and (for tracts) the USDA's rurality 
scale. Also see a national map of broadband adoption (the government 
omits this data from their national broadband map) and a story about it 
(with a timely assist from the Center for Public Integrity). Stats nerds
 take note: we estimated the citywide broadband adoption rates in the 
chart linked below by Monte Carlo simulation. <br>
