by Mike Rogoway
Oregon utility commissioners overruled their staff Tuesday, opting for a broad definition of the term "broadband" in a rebuke to two of the state's largest telecom companies.
The three commissioners agreed during a public hearing in Salem that broadband means anything faster than dial-up connection, at least as it applies to determining eligibility for tax breaks Oregon lawmakers approved last March.
