i'd consider broadband anything that allows for a live video stream in
fullscreen tv quality (that's not youtube)

that, or a similar definition should be used in the regulations, because
it would grow automaticly with the improvement of technology (as
standard tv-quality evolves to dvd and higher resolutions over time, so
broadband will have to evolve to keep up)
