(ASCEND) FCC Says Let modems go to 56K.


http://www.news.com/News/Item/0,4,26486,00.html

Great, So I can now look forward to 500 more emails a day 
asking me "Why do I only get 48K and not 56K like you advertise?",

Eh....

Meanwhile, the Federal Communications
               Commission has proposed changing old
               rules so that digital 56-kpbs modems are
               allowed to operate at their maximum
               speed. 

               FCC rules that limit the power of devices
               that operate on the nation's phone system
               prevent these modems from operating at
               speeds higher than 53-kbps. 

               The rules, adopted in 1976, were created
               to prevent interference to people's
               telephone conversations. But the lines
               have improved and the limits aren't
               needed anymore, the FCC said.
