FCC abolishes gigabit speed goal, suggesting it is unfair to slower technologies
摘要
美国联邦通信委员会（FCC）近日废除了拜登政府时期设定的千兆宽带速度长期目标，并宣布当前美国宽带部署水平已达可接受标准。FCC认为，该千兆目标“不具备技术中立性”，对其他较慢技术不公平。此前，FCC于2024年将宽带基准提升至下行100Mbps、上行20Mbps，并设定1Gbps下行与500Mbps上行的长期目标作为评估部署进展的指引。现任主席 Brenda
The Federal Communications Commission last week eliminated the gigabit speed goal established during the Biden administration and declared that current levels of broadband deployment in the US are acceptable. Though fiber networks have routinely offered such speeds for years, the FCC said the gigabit speed goal is not "technologically neutral," suggesting that it isn't fair to other, slower technologies.
In 2024, the FCC raised its broadband benchmark to 100Mbps downstream and 20Mbps upstream, setting the new standard by which to judge whether deployment is reasonable and timely. The FCC at the time also set a long-term speed goal of 1Gbps download speeds paired with 500Mbps upload speeds, saying it would use the goal “as a guidepost for evaluating our efforts to encourage deployment.”
Republican Brendan Carr, who is now the FCC chairman, never liked that long-term goal. He proposed abolishing it last year, and the change was finalized on August 14 in the FCC's latest broadband deployment report. The reports are mandated by Section 706 of the Telecommunications Act.
