Re: [STDS-802-16] Fwd: [802SEC] +++EC 5 Day Review+++802.18 FCC request for help defining broadband



Brian,

People on the call could not come up with a kind of definition that would apply across the board to all broadband communications (different types of wired and wireless). On the other hand, they tried to promote the idea of FCC defining classes of broadband service where each class is clearly defined by characteristics such as throughput, sustainability, reliability, delay, etc.

I am not sure at the end how clearly this was reflected into the response.

Regards,

Reza

Just to continue my past diatribes on this subject (and get people thinking, I hope):  The document is a non-answer and totally non-definitive.  While it sort of answers the FCC questions it does not propose a definition, instead it just has a lot of words recommending an undefined subjective “user perception” approach to a definition.

Dear EC,



On 21 August 802.18 announced a conference call to be held on 26 August. The
agenda for that call addressed the FCC's request for help in defining the
term broadband. It was necessary to hold a second call on 27 August and on
that call a response to the FCC was approved by a vote of 8/2/0.



The FCC due date for the comments is 31 August.



This document is being sent to you for the five day review process.



Acting on the instructions of the EC chair I propose that the EC comment
period begins now and closes on 31 August.



The FCC request for help in defining broadband can be found at:
