>The Bluetooth, GPS, WiFi, and GSM receivers all have to receive cleanly while the Bluetooth, WiFi, and GSM transmitters are transmitting. It's amazing that this works. Um, yeah, about that, that would be really nice if it were true. Maybe sometimes for some hardware in some situations. For a 1st gen motorola droid X I can personally guarantee when the wifi gets unusually frisky the bluetooth drops out. Very annoying when listening to music on a BT earpiece. A hardwired headphone never drops out, but a main marketing point of USB-C is to get rid of headphone jacks because they work well and they're too cheap to profit off. The cable leakage thing was true in the 80s, but the FCC wisely put pretty low transmit level limits on all the two-way gear (settop boxes, cablemodems, cable phone modems). To make a long story short if signals are getting out, interference is getting in and is measurable and is likely causing an upload/upstream problem. If you think microwatts of output power from a cracked cable is annoying to a fm radio listener, imagine a "miles long" cable with a crack acting like an antenna across the street from a 50 kilowatt am transmitter and consider its effect on modem upstream speeds. Problems will happen, but it'll get fixed pretty fast, unlike the 80s or something. Maybe a decade ago the journalists made a sport of complaining about digital phone service being unable to dial 911 and that was the end of unrepaired cable leakage problems.
