re: Just a fun link hinting at why all the NN discussions are hilariously out of date

Google Fiber sheds workers as they look towards a wireless future. The entire NN debate is silly. It so lacks forward thinking as to be almost painful. The big dogs know the deal. So ask yourself. If Google believes wireless is the future........and wireless doesn't have the same barriers to entry that hard lines have......why is Google such a big advocate of NN? I'll let you ruminate on that for a bit. The NN debate is like when people honest to God thought if Blockbuster bought Hollywood video it would be a "monopoly". I'll give you a hint. They understand the implications of an all wireless internet in terms of competition............for THEM!

5G is the endgame for all major carriers, field costs are ridiculously low compared to fiber/copper. T is already running 5G in selected trials and they are getting over 1 gig download speeds. T is also offering 5G home routers for their 5G service allowing the customer to access 5G without using their smartphone's hotspot.
