> Aereo, now Chet Kanojia is taking on the country’s biggest Internet providers with a new start-up called Starry. Excuse me while I piss myself laughing at the thought that the major ISPs would be worried about a wireless broadband startup. I tried Clearwire for six months. Even when it works well, wireless is no substitute for even copper wire, much less fiber. Bandwidth is lower, they have to throttle because of it. The physics just doesn't work to give anywhere close to the same experience as copper without doing something drastic like mesh, and that's got its own problems.
