FCC chair proposes raising broadband standard to 100Mbps
raising the minimum definition of broadband to 100Mbps for downloads and 20Mbps for uploads. The previous 25/3 benchmark is both outdated and hides just how many low-income and rural internet users are being"left behind and left offline," Rosenworcel said.
The chair said multiple pieces of evidence supported the hike, including requirements for new network construction stemming from the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. The FCC had already proposedthrough a special program, but this would affect the definition of broadband regardless of where users live in the country.
Rosenworcel also wanted the minimum speed to evolve over time. She proposed setting a much higher standard of 1Gbps down and 500Mbps up for some point in the future. The leader further suggested more criteria for determining the"reasonable and timely" rollout of broadband, including adoption rates, affordability, availability and equitable access.
