VentureBeat: U.S. broadband growth off to a slow start this year

  • Anthony Kuhn · 1 year ago
    This is not good news for new startups whose products rely on high-speed Internet connections to deliver their cutting edge products to the end user. I think someone needs to make this happen, as the US is falling farther and farther behind their global counterparts in broadband penetration and download speeds. Any thoughts on how best to make high-speed in the US fast and affordabe anyone?

    Please help spread the word that the FCC has new definitions of the speed at which data is delivered.
    Broadband was/is a totally meaningless term and tech blogs should be leading the way to get the word out.
    * Digital Subscriber Line (DSL)
    * Cable Modem
    * Fiber
    * Wireless
    * Satellite
    * Broadband over Powerlines (BPL)
