[NNagain] What is the difference between "broadband" and "Internet"?

[Dave Taht <dave.taht@gmail.com>]

I was at the netdev conference last week, and attempting to attend to
some extent, remotely this week's IETF conference in prague. I have
two long emails piled up, and 6+ responses to existing threads. I do
look forward to more folk finding useful and accurate information
(thank you all for posting your perspectives). Newcomers to the list
(we had about a dozen people join and 3 exit) should please scan
https://lists.bufferbloat.net/pipermail/nnagain/2023-October/thread.html
 for topics!

Two things that went by my eyeballs this past week:

Given how much the definitions of NN were weakened in the first place
with "reasonable this" or reasonable that, as discussed in the UK and
germany threads above...

I do not know what the real fight is about anymore. Stay tuned for
"more lawyer v lawyer action!".

One of the things on my list for this week is trying to understand
what differences, if any, exist, in regulation, between "wired
broadband" verse various forms of fixed wireless (5G's recent
penetration into FWA notwithstanding, many better technologies exist
and are far more widely deployed) , verses mobile wireless? To me,
it's all "internet". Is there a fundamental legal difference between
"broadband" and internet?

Similarly "licensed vs unlicensed" spectrum has got a bit vague with
the wifi 6e rules regarding reporting location and height and power.
