I will be providing more details and background shortly, but in short, this is motivated by the FCC "Measuring Broadband America" effort (http://www.fcc.gov/measuring-broadband-america). The goal is to provide consumers and service providers with better information about broadband (access) performance. Such measurements can inform public policy, facilitate informed consumer choice of broadband providers, and allow debugging of performance issues. Please join the discussion on the list if you're interested in this topic.
