Well, at least, with herculean efforts, Craig has finally grasped this much. Of
course, before then, there was also plenty of competition among ISPs, thanks
only to the mandated neutrality of the telephone lines they depended on. But
that's not the case with broadband, Craig.
By then neutrality mandates became unnecessary,
Only from the point of view of the lunatic fringe, who also spend their spare
time searching for black helicopters, and who get paid off by the special
interests. If neutrality of service, from the local monopolies, were not
problem, those same local monopolies would not be spending so much time and
effort trying to kill the mandate.
Yes true Bert. There are many people who ONLY have cellular data services,
It's true, there is a segment of the population that only ever uses
smartphones. The digital illiterates. And true, that's the extent of their
Internet use. But this hardly makes the case that 4G is a realistic option for
general purpose home broadband service. All you have to do, Craig, is spend
some quality time reading up on this. See what the caveats are, see what people
have experienced, when attempting to use cellular as their only broadband
service.
Ironically, the main problems with loss of service are happening on the
fixed ISP networks when there is too much demand on the servers - e.g.
the inability to support the demand when HBO airs a new episode of Game
of Thrones.
I already explained this to you too, Craig! In your example, and many similar
ones, IT WAS NOT "the Internet" that got overloaded at all. The problem was
restricted to only SOME of the SERVERS of that ONE STEAMING WEB SITE.
The core networks, and even the last mile networks, have kept pace rather well,
in fact.
And more importantly, with 5G, you may not see the significant
increase in competition, because for 5G to offer that significant
increase, over 4G, requires significant investment in backhaul networks.
Most of which are already in place Bert.
Another load of crap. Just like when you claimed that the infrastructure for
FiOS "was already in place."
Craig, let's cut to the chase. In technical matters, you can't just sell
verbose prose by the pound. No one believes you. You first have to educate
yourself, and then, be concise and accurate. You can't keep reverting back to
exactly the same misconceptions you had a decade or more ago. How is it you
can't move ahead, instead of retrenching backwards? Is it because that's the
easiest way to push out copious prose by the pound? Just recycle words from 10
years ago?
So, another thread spiraling into the toilet, for excessive repetition of the
same old points.
END OF THREAD!
Bert
