Moore pays for that. My internet hasn't gotten 10 times as fast, but networking equipment did. So much exponential growth and here you are discussing if we can really deliver 10 Mbit to the population?
ISPs want to pay so little industry is still spending R&D money on how to make that fucking copper cable go all the way to Shannon capacity. G.fast is now doing over 100 Mbps on 500m copper.
- toomuchtodo 9y agoRadio spectrum does not follow Moore’s Law. It is finite.
- TheCoelacanth 9y agoThe radio spectrum isn't the bottleneck for wired Internet. The bottleneck is in the routers, switches, etc. that sit in between the pieces of wire. Moore's law is highly relevant to how much bandwidth they can handle.
