Re: A Gigabit is not a Gigabyte...

Gigabyte never had anything to do with SI to begin with. It was a specialized binary term used only in IT (or, back then, DP).

Doesn't matter if it was a specialized term back in the day. The International System of Units made the distinction back in 1998. »physics.nist.gov/cuu/Units/binary.html

...and I still don't care what they think. My industry (not subject to their approval), my terms.

Not a "cop out". I've been using something for 30 years; I'm going to continue to use it in the same way. They can go suck it for all I care. We in the industry know what we mean when we use the terms; I don't care what they do or don't know or want. I don't recognize it as being any of their business since they're "johnny come lately" to it.
