FCC's Broadband Data Seriously Flawed says Teletruth
Teletruth has filed a Data Quality Act Complaint against the FCC's statistics, claiming that the FCC is politically driven to inflate the number of broadband connections in the United States, as well as presenting a distorted picture of broadband in the US.
In a recent op-ed in the Wall Street Journal by FCC Chairman Martin, "United States of Broadband", July 7, 2005, the Chairman claims America is number one in the world with 38 million broadband subscribers.
What Chairman Martin does not say is that the FCC's definition of broadband includes anything over 200K (Kilobytes-per-second), and in only one direction. This, of course, inflates the broadband number to make America appear to be number one in broadband.
