FCC To Vote On 25 Mbps Speed Hike at Jan 29 Meeting
January 14, 2015
Apparently, Federal Communications Commission Chairman Tom Wheeler plans to add the vote to change the definition of high-speed broadband downstream speeds from 4 Mbps to 25 Mbps to the Jan 29 meeting.
The vote will be on the FCC's latest Section 706 report to Congress on whether advanced telecommunications is being deployed to all Americans in a timely fashion. The report concludes it is not, in part based on the new 25 Mbps table stakes for high-speed broadband -- though in December the FCC made 10 Mbps downstream the standard for the Connect America Fund Universal Service Fund broadband subsidies
