Comments:
Definition Unclear
The ITU definition proves to be inadequate as there are many crucial areas that are not addressed. The definition does not specify the speed of a broadband connection. ITU states that a broadband connection is an always-on facility that offers speeds over 256kbps. Also merely stating if taxes are included or not will not be useful. A footnote should indicate the additional cost due to tax.
Bundled Offerings
Some broadband offerings may not have a connection charge as the charge will be bundled into the monthly rental or the modem charges. This will make comparisons difficult.
