Symmetrical performance should be the goal for a new broadband definition, UNH BCoE suggests.
An updated definition of advanced service capability should consider more than raw speed, UNH BCoE suggests.
In considering a new definition of what constitutes “broadband” Internet connectivity, the Federal Communications Commission should consider performance levels necessary to convey a base set of services that flow over high-speed networks, more so than “raw” measures of speed.
That’s among the recommendations made by the UNH Broadband Center of Excellence in its submission to the FCC... Read More
