Quote me ANYTHING is the 1996 law that mentions broadband service, Craig. Do
the legwork, provide the quote. Put up or shut up.
Section 706, which defines Title 1 services:
DEFINITIONS.—For purposes of this subsection:
(1) ADVANCED TELECOMMUNICATIONS CAPABILITY.—The term ‘‘advanced
telecommunications capability’’ is defined, with- out regard to any
transmission media or technology, as high- speed, switched, broadband
telecommunications capability that enables users to originate and receive
high-quality voice, data, graphics, and video telecommunications using any
technology.

Findings
The Congress finds the following:
The rapidly developing array of Internet and other interactive computer
services available to individual Americans represent an extraordinary advance
in the availability of educational and informational resources to our citizens.
These services offer users a great degree of control over the information that
they receive, as well as the potential for even greater control in the future
as technology develops.
The Internet and other interactive computer services offer a forum for a true
diversity of political discourse, unique opportunities for cultural
development, and myriad avenues for intellectual activity.
The Internet and other interactive computer services have flourished, to the
benefit of all Americans, with a minimum of government regulation.
Increasingly Americans are relying on interactive media for a variety of
political, educational, cultural, and entertainment services.
Policy
It is the policy of the United States--
to promote the continued development of the Internet and other interactive
computer services and other interactive media;
to preserve the vibrant and competitive free market that presently exists for
the Internet and other interactive computer services, unfettered by Federal or
State regulation;
