§  8.11   Definitions.

   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

   protections set forth in this part.

   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.

   (c) Mobile broadband Internet access service. A broadband Internet
   access service that serves end users primarily using mobile stations.

   (d) Reasonable network management. A network management practice is
   reasonable if it is appropriate and tailored to achieving a legitimate
   network management purpose, taking into account the particular network
   architecture and technology of the broadband Internet access service.
