Good 'ole Walt Mossberg gives FCC boss Kevin Martin a bit of a talking to yesterday at the Wall Street Journal D6 conference for his failure to help our broadband fortunes. After Walt highlights the fact that we pay more for less than a long list of countries, the Kev-meister shows off his political chops, and swiftly talks his way out of trouble (see video part 1 (http://link.brightcove.com/services/link/bcpid452319854/bctid1576332573) and part 2 (http://link.brightcove.com/services/link/bcpid910498365/bctid1576310643)). When questioned about why the FCC considers 256kbps to be broadband, Martin tells Walt they just bumped that definition to 768kbps (something two commissioners voted against).
