NTIA provides Broadband Map, Data

The NTIA (National Telecommunications & Information Administration - Charged with researching and promoting T&I), in conjunction with the FCC, has completed a report analyzing the state of broadband diffusion in the U.S.  They find that only 5-10% does not have access to broadband at current baseline speeds (3-10 Mbs download).  Broadband adoption (at that level) was measured at roughly 68%.  At what is considered 4G speeds (6+ Mbps), access drops to 36%.
But they also offer a nifty online map (www.broadbandmap.gov), a series of reports, and some data.
