The FCC's move to modify the definition of high speed broadband to DL > 25 mbps doesn't really change much except for the count of competitive providers per community that offer the new minimum "level" of service.  According to the NCTA, 85% of U.S. households currently have access to network download speeds of 100 mbps or more.  It has been and will continue to be a question of how to improve service to the 15% of the population who reside in rural communities that comprise 72% of the nation's land mass (Census Bureau).
