I concur. At IDC for the purpose of measuring BB connections, we take 256k as minimum speeds, especially in emerging markets. In more developed nations, when talking about national brooadband policies (and in some countries it is seen as a "right" alongside access to electricity, water, housing, etc), the definitions range from 1 to 4 Mbps.
For starters I think so as not to confuse the public the use of the term broadband should be accompanied by a definition and a service level agreement. :-( !On Wed, Jul 6, 2011 at 9:34 PM, Barrack Otieno <otieno.barrack@gmail.com> wrote:
Dear Listers,
• As a nation do we need a comprehensive policy on broadband, if so
what should it contain?
• Does the current ICT Policy ensure that the country maximizes on the
potential of the available broadband?
the floor is open, feel free to continue contributing to the previous threads.
Best Regards
