Fixed wireless and LEO internet doesn't require last mile wiring. Your post, while accurate and informative, doesn't appear to have much to do with my question of wireless technologies enabling competition where wired ISPs now hold monopolies.
- snisarenko 7y agoFair point. I wasn't sure what LEO stands for (I guess low earth orbit satellites). Wireless competition is tough as well, because you have to purchase spectrum from the gov't. Maybe not all wireless technologies ??? I am not an expert on wireless. Still wired internet has advantages over the other technologies (stability and latency), so I am merely suggesting an effective way to compete on wired internet can help significantly (its path of least resistance from a technology standpoint, but not from a political standpoint)
- satya71 7y agoYep, and from information theory standpoint, wireless will never have anywhere near the same capacity as wired because of inherently worse channel characteristics (loss, dispersion, and interference)
