That's a better address, I hope. Go to the FactFinder site and click on the search address link on the left side. I'm in tract 15. There appears to be at least 4 tracts in my zip code, maybe 8. I currently file 477, but they better provide a better solution than the FactFinder site if they expect us to do this. I don't have that many customers, but I refuse to look this up for each customer this way. ---------- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "John Valenti" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "WISPA General List" <wireless@wispa.org> Sent: Thursday, March 20, 2008 11:56 AM Subject: Re: [WISPA] FCC Approves New Broadband Mapping Plan > Does this mean our 477 forms are going to be more complicated? > Will we need to figure out the correct census tract for each of our > customers? > > And I looked up the tract that I live in (quickly, at http:// > factfinder.census.gov/servlet/AGSGeoAddressServlet ).
