As I understand it, we started out with census blocks because some ISPs didn't want to share address level data. These would be ISP's more influential than any of us I presume. Using census blocks had several obvious flaws that I think we all know about at this point.
The FCC probably should have had the cajones to demand address level data from the beginning. -Adam ________________________________ From: AF <[email protected]> on behalf of Josh Luthman <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, March 27, 2026 12:34 PM To: AnimalFarm Microwave Users Group <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [AFMUG] GIS file of grant project areas Yep! RDOF is CBG BEAD is location fabric, individual houses Reconnect is a PFSA, a polygon(s) defining the project area To maximize government waste. Do the task three different ways to avoid being able to share resources. Oh and that FCC fabric is tax payer funded meanwhile ISPs are expected to be the ones to correct the data set.

Of course they are not all in one spot. You can download those three from three spots. If you want to start including states, it'll be more places to look. Local stuff...jesus...
