Re: Many Changes at the FCC...

and watch how quickly, just by raising the bandwidth rate from 200k to 1.5m, how many zip codes suddenly DON'T have access to "broadband."

I think that would be very telling...we may actually start to get a "closer to real" view of where we stand. Granted if only one person in the zip could get 1.5 down, you're still going to see misrepresentation, but it would be a start.

and then the costs get past down to you... the providers will never foot the bill in either case however broadband is catergorized...

That's not really my point.

Regardless of who pays for it, we shouldn't be calling 200k down "broadband." It pains me to call 1.5 down broadband too, but if we're looking for a minimum it seems like a better place to start.
