May we consider that 'p' stands for 'per' ?
So kbps would mean : Kilo [10^3] * bit per second
So it would be exactly the same as kbit/s Kilo [10^3] bit per second.
Sounds logical to me ... but I'm not a native speaker ...
Analogue we could consider that 'mph' stands for 'miles per hour'.
So perhaps we come all to the agreement that we omit the (?) behind the 'p'
until someone proves that 'p' stands for something else than 'per' ?!?
