FCC Now Defines Broadband As 4 Mbps

The Federal Communications Commission finally raised the definition of broadband from 200Kpbs to 4Mbps. Whew, it’s about damn time. Aside from the people at the FCCC, when has 200Kpbs ever been considered broadband?

"This is a minimum speed generally required for using today's video-rich broadband applications and services, while retaining sufficient capacity for basic web browsing and e-mail," the FCC said. The report also outlines states that would qualify as being "unserved" by broadband.
