Geez, Craig, THINK! I'm talking about the MVPDs, not your precious "bundles."
The MPVDs are (or actually were) the monopolistic ingredient here. That's why
the "bundles" could afford to be bloated and expensive.
"Once upon a time..."
The monopoly is now an oligopoly that works hand in hand with the content
oligopoly. The bundles are bloated and expensive because the politicians let
them operate using monopoly tactics. This is not changing, even as the bundles
move to the Internet.
5G will not replace LTE;
Is that what they call a red herring? Are you arguing with yourself again,
Craig?
NO I am stating the obvious, which was stated by the authors of the paper I
linked to.
Really. You did not even know the Verizon service existed. Now
you know all the details?
Only because you're stubborn and can't read. I've stated on countless
occasions how wireless broadband could not compete against unlimited cabled
broadband service yet, Craig.
You mean the broadband you refuse to pay for? The service exists; no doubt it
is more expensive than your DSL service. As I have stated repeatedly, the
technology for competitive wireless broadband for the last 1/8th mile is still
in trials.
Sometimes, I hope (against hope) not to have to spoon-feed every single
detail to you, repeating myself over and over again, year after year, as you
do. Know what I mean?
Yes Bert, "we" know exactly what you mean!
The thing I love about these exchanges is all the softballs you pitch my way.
It is the reason that arguing with you is so productive. "WE" all learn
something when the fake news is stripped away and replaced with fact based
arguments.
Think of wireless replacing the PON in FTTH nets, or think of wireless
replacing the VDSL or G.fast link into homes. Think of how cable companies
created HFC networks, reusing their existing coax into homes, just so they
could avoid that very last amount of digging and of having to make house
calls. That's what fixed wireless offers.
DUH!
It avoids the most expensive parts of the job. And too, for fixed service,
you can exploit greater antenna gain at base stations. In fact, educate
yourself on 5G "massive MIMO." See what that term means. Hint: it's nothing
like MIMO. Really, Craig. I won't spoonfeed you when you go into your obtuse
mode.
Another DUH!
No need to spoon feed. I already explained all of this to you after posting the
IEEE paper...
Why is it necessary to use 80 MHz channels in the 600 MHz spectrum Bert?
ROTFL. Craig! Read up on the channel width of 4G channels which claim to
offer high capacity, will you?
Try again. You are completely missing the point.
The issue is not capacity Bert; it is using the 600 MHz spectrum for a layer of
services that it is appropriate for. Our mobile devices already have multiple
radios that support at least three generations of cellular service and Wi-Fi.
As I explained yesterday, the 600 MHz spectrum is very useful for low density
cellular networks optimized to deliver streaming media services.
The 600 MHz band is not only too small to offer anything meaningful for
broadband wireless, especially in urban areas, but it propagates too far for
easy frequency reuse in the smaller cells we need. And for rural areas,
where it makes sense to go for long range wireless, there should be plenty
of TV white space available.
Thank you for explaining what I already explained. NIce job! The 600 MHz band
will not be used for high density cellular services; that's why 5G is being
developed. The propagation characteristics are ideal for SFNs that are used
primarily to offload streaming media sessions that are bogging down the 4G
networks.
What's more, take a look at the cellular tower infrastructure while you are
driving down the Interstates. You will see the typical small sticks associated
with medium to high density cells, and towers that are several hundred feet
tall that are ideal for low density SFNs.

Craig
