| Again How do you measure broadband penetration if you can't define broadband?
Would Satallite broadband count?
What about EDGE broadband?
ISDN?
Bonded 56k modems?
Does the word 'latency' show up anywhere? |

1 edit | None of these are broadband in today's world. I think latency should be put into the equation. Also, there needs to be a minimum speed. I propose 3Mbps/512kbps as the bare minimum. And, we should get some of that USF money back from the companies that didn't use it for its "intended" purposes. |

The FCC currently defines broadband as anything above 200kbps. Recently, the Senate Commerce Committee approved a bill that will require the FCC to redefine the decade old definition. Now, we just wait until Congress passes.

| 200kbps is NOT broadband and the FCC needs to fix that definition. We have to wait on the "nimble" government. Maybe if we call this terrorism and the government will then get right on that? |
