Re: sigs wanted for a response to the fcc's NOI for faster broadband speeds

What I've found missing were references to packet loss impact on
performance. It seems to assume cable/fiber environments with little
to no packet loss, while Wi-Fi and 3G/4G/5G  are not like that.

Us bufferbloat folk have been putting together a response to the FCC's
NOI (notice of inquiry) asking for feedback as to increasing the
broadband speeds beyond 100/20 Mbit.

"Calls for further bandwidth increases are analogous to calling for
cars to have top speeds of 100, 200, or 500 miles per hour. Without
calling also for better airbags, bumpers, brakes, or steering wheels,
(or roads designed to minimize travel delay), these initiatives will
fail (and are failing) to meet the needs of present and future users
of the internet."

Comments (and cites) welcomed also! The text is still somewhat in flux...
