Yet Another Disingenuous FCC Broadband Report

Nate Anderson writes on ARS Technica:

The FCC released its most recent report [.pdf] on the US broadband market last week, and it paints a pleasant picture. According to the agency, the number of broadband lines increased by 52 percent over the last 12 months (measured from June 2005 to June 2006) and now totals 64 million connections.

That's remarkable growth, but critics complain that the FCC includes cellular broadband in its numbers, and that the "real" growth rate is only half of what the report claims.
