Where's the broadband? Oh. There it is. Michigan has put together a map, and it's interactive, of where the broadband is. The benefit of something like this is to locate where broadband isn't, and then put it there.

The Michigan Public Service Commission Thursday
announced the completion of Michigan’s first broadband availability map
aimed at promoting technology development and increasing high-speed

between the MPSC and Connected Nation, a national non-profit focused on
technology expansion in underserved areas.

important first step as the state seeks to target resources to those
areas of the state without high-speed Internet service."
