Don’t you know that up to 10 megabits is just fine? : Telecom Straight Shooter | Telecommunication Industry News Blog
June 9, 2009
I really dislike beating a dead horse when it comes to US Telecom competitiveness globally in bandwidth speed (not to be confused with access, which is a nice warm, feel-good, placating number.)
As I have written previously, I mentioned how a host of carriers and other sorts have filed opinions with the NTIA on how to expend the $7.2 billion in “stimulus” funds for broadband infrastructure. Much debate remains on such definitions as open access, broadband, under-served, un-served, etc. Yours truly proposed a definition that anyone, or any business, being served with less than 100 megabits today is under-served and un-served. Also, within a decade we should have a National Communications policy objective of 1 gigabits delivery covering 90% of the United States...
