 This cost is one reason why we are working on a model which will predict
  Internet access across a locality. Our focus is on GIS for policymaking
  tools. I will talk about this at the conference, and hopefully get some
 good  suggestions (we'll only have preliminary data unfortunately).

  The reason for this paucity is, of course, that sizing Internet user
  populations is an incredibly expensive and time-consuming process.  A
  really interesting doctoral thesis to read would be one which took
  apart and compared the various  methodologies as a way of explaining
  the wide divergences in results.  Or: data points are memes, and they
  travel, but in so doing they obscure their origins; call it a fetish
  for numbers.
