All networking gear is rated in bits, it is data itself that is rated in bytes...

Re: Don't need one million people per town...

The same goes for New Brunswick and Newfoundland! There is NO data cap and i get 175Mbps to my house, i cant really complain. The towns they reference in the article really are in the middle of nowhere, it is not feasible to offer anything other than DSL, the issue arises in the big cities where everything is buried. The vast sums of money required to bury fibre and offer service are staggering for those urban areas, so i can understand why telco's do not want to have open up that access.
