And if not, then sorry, but I "don't want to quit my day job," as they say.</div> <br /><div> </div> <br /><div>However, I do only wish to use publicly available sources (e.g. from the FCC, USPS, US Census) to derive these lists, and have that proof publicly available, so it is clear that I am not using information derived from any copyrighted material. In other words, as I write this document (my clock says 8:54:28 pm NYC time on Monday, May 10, 2010), I have no access to nor have I seen such a list of zip codes to DMA or vice versa. </div> <br /><div> </div> <br /><div>The spreadsheet of the data is <a href="http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0At2w2V_cyXIFdHp6Q3R6NDF1cVNVLUtQRHhmUnRLcWc&amp;hl=en">here</a>.</div> <br /><div> </div> <br /><div> </div>Petehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10078882340193380407noreply@blogger.com0
