Signalling rate = baud.

Information rate is a function of the semantics of the symbols; in the 
absence of that semantics, information rate = bit rate.

Neither the OED nor Webster consider "bitrate" a single word - at least yet.

Perhaps it's sufficient to use a qualifier?

	analog bandwidth
	digital bandwidth
