Fuck 5G

I would gladly take 5G over the sattlite shit that we have to deal with. We have a local start up that is getting set in place for the role out of 5g and offer 100meg down connection to us rural dweller. We have DSL at the box but there are no SLOTS for service available to us and even if there was its 1.5mbps down ONLY......

You do realize that unless you are currently being fully serviced by 3G or 4G coverage there is almost no way 5G is ever going to see your area.

With this '50x speed' comes barely any range. Its entire purpose is going to be to support metro areas higher bandwidth loads. And for ISP's like Verizon to argue needs a price increase.

I live close enough to the "big town" and we have lots of richers that have their 2ed homes but full time residence on paper (to avoid CA taxes) as well as a resort town close by, we will see the 5g stuff......

not us. we have a 4g tower across the highway but I must be out of range because we are in 3g all the time. and once I get on base, we really drop down to old school and have to use land lines

Physical hardware is better anyway, this random push for #G technology is really stupid. We barely have land based broadband for the countries metro areas.

I plug all the high use items in at the house because I think physical connection is better, also.

Well that's a bit of a stretch, unless you're saying anything less than 300mb down isn't "really broadband."

Anything fast enough to stream HD video, for example, has been in all the metro areas for far more than a decade.

Yeah thats quite the assumption?

I guess I don't understand your reply. You said we barely hand land based broadband for metro areas.

Or are you considering "metro area" much smaller than me?

Maybe he means rural...

And here's the point. Get the fed's to regulate all this and the innovation will cease. The feds will regulate profits to google, etc., but the guy tinkering with potentially disruptive tech will be a thing of the past.
And if google, Verizon etc have no competition, why innovate?

Profit George, profit.

The same reason all companies innovate.

Yes because all those power generation / utility companies did all that innovating while under the various amounts of state and federal near total regulation and price control for all those decades right. Well that is until all the Stimulus money started pouring in from the Govt for all those "Green Energy Solutions", that once those "subsidies" dried up.................. well you know.

[z31maniac]

What subsidies dried up? I frequently see turbine parts on I40 headed out to the western part of the state.

Now your being a bit purposefully slow... Yes there is still some green going up, but once the feds stoped paying for it all, its slowed dramatically from the 2010-2013 range.
