The U.S. Federal Communications Commission on Thursday took a step toward improving Internet speeds in America, requiring providers to offer download speeds of at least 25 megabits per second to classify as "broadband."

The FCC has ZERO jurisdiction. All providers have the right -- nay, the RESPONSIBILITY -- to tell the FCC to FCC-off.

I'm going to disagree with you on this one, Laz. If this is simply about defining what the term "broadband" means from an advertising/marketing standpoint, I'm good with this. I don't see anything here forcing the providers to change what they're offering, just a requirement that "broadband" actually means something, and things that offer less shouldn't use the term.
