In some circles, "broadband" is defined (there is no standard definition) as anything that is faster than standard dial up. But the talk is about a National backbone. Connecting it to the internet is another matter that will probably need to wait for one of the two undersea cable projects (TEAMS or EASSY) to materialise.
