Note, the official broadband definition only means service providers can't advertise it as "broadband" or **qualify for subsidies**; not that they must deliver better service.
This seems to be the point most respondents are missing....No entity is blocking slower than X deployments; the 64 million dollar err bit question is what qualifies.
(I'd be happy if it also excluded "5 Gee" if that squelched the endless tsunami of ads on same.)
