> The real solution is you shouldn't care about broadband mapping. Change government broadband incentives to a post-paid reimbursement for delivering fiber to previously unserved homes.
You can't tell which homes are currently unserved without collecting something.
> If you require ISPs to hand over customer and connection performance data to the government you have government spying.
Mapping speeds requires knowing what speeds the ISP is capable of providing with XY% uptime. Customer performance data doesn't have to enter the picture, unless the customer decides to file a dispute about false advertisements about bandwidth, for which case mapping laws should grant customers a private right of action as well as standing for class actions.
