Look to that cellphone tower as the first steps toward getting some form of wifi to everyone. It's not going to be instant, but it's a hell of a lot faster than electricity rolled out. I remember houses in the rural area outside of my hometown that had handpumps in the yard and the kitchen, and outhouses. Some didn't have electricity and phone, or water. Now they have power, phone, water, and city sewage treatment.
It's a large country and big infra changes don't happen quickly.
The same way I pay for mine. Monthly.
Don't look at those infrastructure costs as permanent hits against the telcos. They're going to amortize the hell out of those costs, and, we're going to pay for it anyway. They won't lose any money.
Both works for me. The only reason more people don't have fiber where verizon has a presence is due to political backscratching and business BS from the existing cable company that offers internet services.
I say, me give me bandwidth, or get the hell out of the way of someone who will.
Absolutely not.
I say light up the whole damned continent. If not with fiber, then at the very least with fast wifi or ethernet.
It may not DL an entire movie, but it could grab a significant chunk of it and let you watch it without jitter or pixelation, and then DL the next chunk when you have a few minutes of video from the previous chunk.
The copyright holders are going to whine and moan no matter how it's done, so the best thing is to ignore them and do it the right way. It's just as easy to capture a streamed movie as it is one that arrive as a single piece. The thing they need to get over is that once people can rely on having a resource available to them on the net, there's less motivation for them to hoard it on a local drive. If movies only cost a couple dollars, were stored on some upstream server farm that would shoot it down to me on demand, I'd buy a hell of a lot more movies. I'd bet that many other people would, too.
Listen to the man, he knows of that which he speaks.
More bandwidth may not solve all the problems, but it'll sure as hell solve some of them.
I don't know how many of you still remember the dialup days, or even used dial-up. When the schoolkids got home, they'd start hitting AOL and you'd notice the lag.
It's not as bad now, what with me having a 25/25Mbps line. But there's still a very wide range of criminal acts that I'd perform to have my own 1 Gbps line.

Thanks. It's just part of getting older, I guess.
Probably. But that's how I see things. I had a reasonably pleasant childhood. I've tried to make sure my kids were at least as happy. I'd like my grandkids to grow up like I did.
Most of us will live through hideous, insane, crippled "conventional" old age. I'd risk cutting that short. I'm 51 so I'll be toast in twenty years anyway.
Yeah, I plan to skip that "conventional" old age part, anyway.
Sure, I'd go. There are many who would. Probably all of them older veterans, like me. I'd rather live peacefully, but to help my country recover from something so serious as a major nuclear accident? I'm up for it. I have children and grandchildren. I'd do anything to make certain that they can live normal lives.
That's correct. Getting rid of those crapware apps is the major reason I looked into rooting my phone.
The procedure is pretty straightforward and if you are reading this you're probably geeky enough to be able to handle it. Go to XDA's wiki for the procedure.
I've rooted three phones using the procedure. It would probably be a good idea to read up on the xda-developers forum for G2/Desire, too, just to have get some useful background. Note, there are alternate instructions that include using the Visionary app. I have never used it. XDA has a lot of horror stories about visionary, so I've always steered clear of it.
