state: "Data transmission rates must be given in megabits per second

That said, not sure why BNetzA mandates a particular unit for information
rates, but that’s their prerogative I guess. Given that the fundamental
unit of information is the answer to a YES/NO question (aka a “bit”),
it makes sense to measure information in bits (although trits or any other higher
order concept could be used as long as the system accounted for fractions

the accepted unit of time (and multiples thereof e.g. msec, usec, nsec, etc.),
it makes sense to measure information flow in bits/sec or some multiples
thereof such as Gbps, Mbps, Kbps, etc. and their byte (really octet) versions
GBps, MBps, KBps, etc.. Not sure why BNetzA mandates ONLY one of these, but whatever

style='font-size:10.0pt;color:black;font-weight:bold;font-style:italic'>As for
capacity, remember capacity is not something that is measured. It is a fundamental
property (an information rate!) of a communication channel which has no other attributes
such as minimal, average, or maximal (unless one is talking about time-varying
channels and is wanting to characterize the capacity of the channel over time,
but that’s another story). As such, comparing volume and capacity is
comparing apples and oranges; one is a size of something (e.g. number of megabytes)
and the other is a rate (e.g. MBps) so I am not sure what “Volume or
capacity” really means. I suspect the concept you may be looking for is “achievable
rate” rather than “capacity”. Achievable rate IS something
that is measureable, and varies with load when channels are shared, etc.. Loosely
speaking, achievable rate is always less than or equal to the capacity of a
channel. <o:p></o:p></span></font></i></b></p>
