The Wordnik definition is incorrect.
MEGABIT cannot = 1 million bits AND 1,048,576 bits. It is one or the other; and in fact, it is the former.
ONE MEGABIT = 1 million bits.
ONE MEBIBIT = 1,048,576 bits. (Why such an apparently random number? Well 1 mebibit = 2 raised to the power 20, which = 1,048,576.)
