FCC reconsidrs 56k

Svartalf writes "According to this item the FCC is giving serious consideration to releasing the 20 or so year old signal level restrictions so that 56k modems will be 56k instead of 53k under ideal conditions. Yeah, I know, it's not a big improvement- but it's a couple of k per second faster and *every* drop counts until xDSL and cable modems become a large scale thing. "
