Connected Nation puts Colorado “request for input” Site Up for Broadband Mapping

An article in the Denver Biz Journal discusses the site. I visited to see how one might help in the mapping effort which the state began organizing two years ago. What did I find?

Tools to “test my connection” - I had to input my Colorado address to test. (Of course I don’t have one.) There’s no indication how the data and my speed info might be used.

Detailed form to describe one’s broadband situation/concerns - Disappointingly it ask for lots of data and there is no information on the page about how it will or won’t be used. I found no privacy statement on the site at all.

A Survey Monkey “assessment.” Again, I found no assure of privacy.

I wonder how much input individuals will provide without any privacy assurances?
