    This small change in the definition of broadband could have a big impact

    When I started using the internet in the 1970s, my business used a 1.544 megabits per second (Mbps) T1 connection. At home, I was lucky to have a 1,200 baud connection that delivered 1.2 kilobits per second (Kbps). We've gotten much faster since then. Since January 2015, however, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has defined "broadband" as 25Mbps for downloads and 3Mbps for uploads. Now, at last, the FCC has redefined broadband as a more robust 100Mbps for downloads and 20Mbps for...

A pile of other problems—long charging times, limited life between charges, vulnerability to heat and cold, and the risks around the supply chain of critical metals—has led investors and governments on a...
