I thought the /. story entitled "Broadband isn't Broadband Unless its
2Mbps?" was more interesting, since you were actually mentioned as
having weighed in on the debate:
Larry Cohen, president of the Communication Workers of America,
said that the US is "stuck with a twentieth century Internet" and
that he would support increasing the "broadband" definition to
2Mbps. Ben Scott of Free Press echoed that sentiment, suggesting
^^^^^^^^^
that the definition needs to be an evolving standard that
increases over time, which is in contrast to the current FCC
definition; it has not changed in nine years. "We have always been
limited by the FCC's inadequate and flawed data," he said.'"
I applaud the amount of restraint you showed, not to mention that lack
of verbosity, given the audience would hardly have been capable, never
mind qualified, of following along :)
