§ 8.2 Definitions.
(a) Broadband Internet access service. A mass-market retail service by wire
or radio that provides the capability to transmit data to and receive data
from all or substantially all Internet endpoints, including any capabilities
that are incidental to and enable the operation of the communications
service, but excluding dial-up Internet access service. This term also
encompasses any service that the Commission finds to be providing a
functional equivalent of the service described in the previous sentence, or
that is used to evade the protections set forth in this part.
(b) Edge provider. Any individual or entity that provides any content,
application, or service over the Internet, and any individual or entity that
provides a device used for accessing any content, application, or service
over the Internet.
(c) End user. Any individual or entity that uses a broadband Internet access
service.
(d) Fixed broadband Internet access service. A broadband Internet access
service that serves end users primarily at fixed endpoints using stationary
equipment. Fixed broadband Internet access service includes fixed wireless
services (including fixed unlicensed wireless services), and fixed satellite
services.
(e) Mobile broadband Internet access service. A broadband Internet access
service that serves end users primarily using mobile stations.
(f) Reasonable network management. A network management practice is a
practice that has a primarily technical network management justification,
but does not include other business practices. A network management practice
is reasonable if it is primarily used for and tailored to achieving a
legitimate network management purpose, taking into account the particular
network architecture and technology of the broadband Internet access
service.
