Right now NY State is funding construction in areas that have service
because those service providers failed to supply any 477 data at all.
They're also NOT funding construction in places that DON'T have service
because someone touches the census block but doesn't serve everybody.
IMO, IF they're going to put public money into it, they either need to
require that you only claim census blocks when you serve the entire
thing, or do something more granular than census blocks. I don't know
how hard this is in other states, but I can easily get E911 locations
and compare to where service is available. It takes a trivial amount of
time with GIS software.
Whether public money should be invested this way at all is a different
question. I'm just saying IF they're going to do it, then census blocks
is not accurate enough. Also, whatever they ask for you should submit
it, otherwise you'll have somebody building on top of you with public
money.

Each street address or household? Are you kidding me? These tech sites
are so misguided as far as ISPs go it is pathetic.
