Broadband or not
There is discussion in some newsgroups (and other places) about what is and isn't broadband.
It seems to me that the meaning, in EE terms, relates to the bandwidth relative to the carrier frequency, where wider relative bandwidth requires more complicated filters.
In ethernet terms, though, it seems to be the antonym of baseband, which seems to imply no narrowband ethernets.
In addition, it seems to me that the current cable modem systems should be a form of broadband ethernet, though they are not usually described that way. (And even more, at the high carrier frequencies they may not even qualify as broad.)
