Where can I get the FCC rules? BTW, whats the max speed that can be achieved with BSNL's copper wire, and the digital exchange in between the computer and the ISP? Yes that maybe true. The data is trasmitted in compressed form. NOTE: try running following wget -c -nc -np -r -k _some_site_ multiple times. the overall speed goes around 10 KBps. Average.
