Whittier, AK | Bells will fight this classification to the death "Anything between 200 kilobits and 768 kilobits per second will be considered first-generation broadband.
From 768 kilobits to 1.5 megabits is to be considered basic broadband. In between 1.5 megabits and 3 megabits a second will be classified as high-speed service, between 3 megabits and 6 megabits called robust service and anything over 6 megabits a second called premium."
That would classify a good bulk of Bell DSL subs as 1st generation. No way they would let the FCC throw that label on them.

kudos:2 | All the more reason why trying to define "broadband" is irrelevant. If these new definitions come about, what productiveness will come from them? |

If these new definitions come about, what productiveness will come from them? it's not irrelevant in the context of determining what services are actually currently available. in 2007, broadband should be at least a couple of megs down and 1Mbps or more up. anything less is "last century" - is that what you wish for your country, last century broadband? |

kudos:2 | Every customer already knows what's currently available to them. I don't care what 'Bob Smith' has for internet access across the country, why should the government? |
