PK's own Art Brodsky appeared on NPR's On the Media program this past Friday. The segment featured Mark McElroy of Connected Nation—which has several contracts to map broadband facilities—describing his organization's mapping methodology and their need for secrecy in sources; and a rebuttal by Art, who argues that the secrecy is used to skew the numbers in order to protect choice markets for the large telecomm incumbents who sit on Connected Nation's board.
