"The definition of "broadband" is likely to continue increasing in future years, particularly as America will still lag behind many competitive countries that put more emphasis on Internet infrastructure rather than business benefits (such as the "fast lanes" concept the FCC is also debating). Wheeler noted that worldwide, an average broadband speed of 25Mbps is rapidly becoming the standard, an issue that the US will have to address if it wants to match the "'table stakes' of 21st-century communications."

One good example were "business" doesn't know best, it just knows it's own crappy, greedy interests, and government tries to make it competitive, and true to its customers.
