That means that if they succeed that they can slow down the speed to 128k and still call it broadband. It is possible that ATT, Comcast and others are trying to change the definition so they don't have to spend money bringing broadband to rural customers. Many of whom don't receive anything or very slow dialup. This way they can squeak by and pocket the rest of the money that Obama is offering them. Meanwhile in Japan and Europe they have 80megbits per second speeds. Did you know that we are ranked at 19th in the world for internet speed?
