Do you disagree? I'm not nearly informed enough on the tech or policy sides to explain the issues fully, and it's not really the focus of this site. I'm just highlighting the lack of coverage by people who could explain. Make sense?

The only convergence above is your merger of two separate issues: (1) broadband speed and (2) broadband penetration in the U.S. I’m not sure what you mean by “convergence.” The only convergence above is your merger of two separate issues: (1) broadband speed and (2) broadband penetration in the U.S.
