Cable lobbying group NCTA–The Internet & Television Association is asking the Federal Communications Commission to reject a proposal made by Google Fiber, ALLO and Ting to increase the government’s definition of “broadband’ as symmetrical 100 megabits-per-second speeds.
”The arguments for such an approach are disconnected from the reality of broadband user experience, investment, and deployment and would yield results that have a variety of negative consequences,“ reads a letter filed earlier this week by NCTA to the FCC.
