Re: Many Changes at the FCC... said by Rob:said by MASantangelo:3) What is the current requirement? I've not heard much on it. According to the FCC, if 1 person in a zip code qualifies for broadband, then the entire zip code is considered to be broadband ready. I've seen this fact quoted often here in these BBR news items, but I have never seen it on the FCC web site. Does anyone have a link verifying this claim.

| THANKS.
But I believe this statistic quoted in the same report is more relevant than 99% of ZipCodes have broadband stat.
As a nationwide average, we estimate that high-speed DSL connections were available to 78% of the households to whom incumbent LECs could provide local telephone service as of December 31, 2005, and that high-speed cable modem service was available to 93% of the households to whom cable system operators could provide cable TV service.

Sounds like this fairy tale is based on 200kbps "broadband", and if that's all you believe is needed, then, as in your myopically pedantic world, the Telco line is all you need to tow. |
