I'd much rather the FCC stay out of my business. If I want to sell customers the 56k package for $1 a month, then I should be able to. Not be forced to sell the 2 mbit up/down connection for $30 a month because people don't have perspective on what people really use the Internet for these days.
Afaik in the situation. They are trying to define broadband. Such that they can guage whether and area has broadband access or not. Not whether or not you can sell non-broadband services.
If they made the lowest sync for broadband to be say 5mbit/1mbit. Any areas or rather blocks of people who cannot reach beyond that. Dont have broadband access. Thusly it will mean... those people need better access. So a plan would be devised to get them access.
The ISPs are absolutely terrified at this because it pretty much shows how poor their networks really are.
