Bradner on the FCC's "deceptions"

Scott Bradner takes apart the latest FCC report on the state of the nation's broadband and finds that it's not exactly on the Straight Talk Express...especially if you think 200kbs second isn't quite what we mean by broadband. True, after redefining it to 1/5th the speed most people consider to be a broadband minimum, the report this year talks about "high speed" access instead of "broadband," but the FCC chairman then went out and touted the happy growth of "broadband deployment" by ignoring the difference in scale from last year to this year.
