From MashupCamp

Have an idea for a mashup? Add it to this page and maybe some enterprising mashup developer will make it happen!

1. Cellco Dead Zone (not-spot) Map (suggested by David Isenberg)

How about a wiki-map mashup that lets people add cellular dead zones (not-spots) to a Google Map? I know several places where I lose service predictably every time I drive there. Cellcos have this info but they are keeping it from us. If it were as easy as clicking on a map to add a not-spot (and maybe x-ing your carrier in a check box) it could present some damning data. It could become a reference tool for people shopping for new mobile service.

Here's the article that made this flashbulb pop: http://www.boston.com/news/local/articles/2006/01/29/hello_youre_in_the_dead_zone/

Wish I could be at Mashup Camp!

From Rod Edwards: As a quick (2 second) and dirty solution, I added "Cellular Dead Zone" as a category in BlockRocker.com. That means you can add a geographic Message in the "Cellular Dead Zone" category, and then tag it with your carriers name. Using the combined taxonomy/folksonomy/geographonomy, you could then look up "Verizon Dead Zones in California".

From Yoz Grahame: A 5-minute solution: http://zerobars.ning.com - has fields for carrier and connection quality, though I may drop the latter as it's probably easier just to use the Ratings system.

2. How Fast is my ADSL2 (suggested by Peter Kelley)

How about a map based mashup that maps the speed that one could expect from an ADSL2 connection in a particular location? ADSL 2 speed depends upon distance from your local telephone exchange so if users were able to add the speed they were getting a map could be created that could predict what speed someone could get in a particular location.

Telephone exchange listings exist ([http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/index.cfm?a=wiki
