Leonardo on “broadband” – 2009/11/09
Some think that engineers are needed to undo the confusion created by others. As an engineer I note that the current use of the term "broadband" is most confusing. Depending on countries, people, context, it can mean anything from 2 Mbit/s asymmetric to 100 Mbit/s symmetric access. The low end of "broadband" can be obtained with a judicious use of existing infrastructure, but various degrees of new infrastructure is required for the high end. Is it too much to ask…
