I've written here frequently about the definition of broadband in our country - here's a quote from the FCC website:
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) generally defines broadband service as data transmission speeds exceeding 200 kilobits per second (Kbps), or 200,000 bits per second, in at least one direction: downstream (from the Internet to your computer) or upstream (from your computer to the Internet)."
According to the FCC report, the Commission will start measuring broadband in the U.S. using the following tiers of service:1.5 Mbps to 3.0 Mbps
3.0 Mbps to 6.0 Mbps
6.0 Mbps and above
So, according to the FCC, broadband in the United States is now defined as 768 Kbps or greater.
I've also written in the past about how broadband is mapped in the United States:
According to the new Section 706 report, the FCC will obtain and map additional information about broadband service availability to better direct resources toward unserved and underserved areas. Armed with this additional broadband data, the Commission will be better able to assess and promote the deployment of broadband across the nation.
To answer my post title question "Is it Enough?" - in my opinion no way. I'll pick the 76 page FCC report apart, focusing on the highlights, in my next few blog entries.
