[AusNOG] somebody suggesting NBN for America !

[Scott Weeks]

"...suggested that the minimum appropriate speed for every American 
household by 2020 should be 4 megabits per second for downloads 
and 1 Mbps for uploads."

It has to be political positioning.  This will never happen in
rural areas.  For example, here in Hawaii some households don't 
even have water (they use water catchment) or electricity, much 
less internet.  And there're many such places across the US.

Well they're not actually suggesting NBN.

"The FCC’s National Broadband Plan of March 2010 suggested that the minimum
appropriate speed for every American household by 2020 should be 4 megabits
per second for downloads and 1 Mbps for uploads. These speeds are enough,
the FCC said, to reliably send and receive e-mail, download Web pages and
use simple video conferencing. "

Rather sounds like they'll be lucky to get nationwide FTTN.
