I have been writing stories about my frustration trying to get connected to high speed Cable .6 miles away. I look forward to seeing this map when I can download the Goggle site that it needs for viewing, it will suck up most of my bandwidth if I do it now.

It is indeed frustrating to note that some tools, on the one hand extremely useful (as well as fancy), are not accessible to all users. While working at helping countries at developing their infrastructure and bandwodth, we must also recognize the remaining difficulties.

For those like you facing connectivity problems, we’ve designed an alternative protocol for running the maps. First, download the Google Earth plugin – it is only 0.5MB so normally won’t take very long. Then go on the Broadband Atlas page and click on the title of the map you’d like to see (instead of clicking the checkbox for web viewing) and you will be prompted to download the file (which is only 0.2MB) to your PC. You can then simply drag and drop the file onto Google Earth to run it offline locally on your machine!
We are now also working on a light web version for smartphones, which is hopefully going to be available in the first quarter of 2012. We’ll keep you posted!
