If we can't even agree on what "minimum speed for U.S. broadband 
connections" actually means, fat chance having a "nutritional facts" at 
the back of the "Internet in a tea cup" dropped off at your door step.

I'm not saying it's not useful, I'm just saying that easily goes down 
the "what color should we use for the bike shed" territory, while people 
in rural America still have no or poor Internet access.
