I sort of agree. If they raise the level of broadband to 10Mbps, then I 
only have one speed (and only some customers) that can get it.

Ironically, ISTM that would probably be good for WISPs.  If the FCC 
decides that 10 Mbps is the baseline and areas that don't get it 
become eligible for USF subsidies, areas with WISP unsubsidized 
competitors are among those likely to be hit by subsidized new 
entrants (usually ILECs).  4 Mbps isn't spectacular but other than HD 
video, it is adequate for most applications. Some 5 GHz systems can of 
course go faster than 10 Mbps, but it would be a real crunch on 900 
MHz and TVWS networks, low frequencies needed in wooded areas.
