A similar RFC that describes Cable vs. xDSL vs. dialup vs.
Wireless (all flavors) vs. Radio vs. Microwave vs. Satellite
vs. ? type of connections would be great. And, then,
include definitions of speed as well, both up and down.
Finally, with a section that includes definitions of things
like Kbps vs. Mbps vs. MBps, etc... I'm tempted to write
something up for family and friends...
I enjoyed reading the RFC - thank you Phil!
