I would assume it's so expensive due to data usage. Anything over LTE I've seen has ridiculously low data caps. I think as part of this funding the FCC should have a mandatory requirement of no data caps, or a cap of something more reasonable like 10TB a month that increases 5TB every X number years.
- google234123 6y ago1TB sounds more reasonable than 10. 10 is way over the top
- tw04 6y agoI assume you don't have kids stuck at home during covid. I have friends that are burning through 1TB of data a month like it's nothing. Between zoom/webex meetings all day for everyone in the family, and netflix in the evenings because they can't really go play with other friends, 1TB is a joke. Heck, Cyberpunk 2077 is a 70GB download ALONE - that's 7% of your cap gone from you or your kid installing one game.
- google234123 6y agoThat game will provide you plenty of content for that data. Anyway, just because a few people use ~1TB of data doesn't mean every LTE plan should provide 10TB. You are asking for a 500x increase in the typical LTE data plan.
- tw04 6y agoI said people receiving the fcc funding. As far as I know, none of the LTE players have been taking funds. If they have been I guess I don’t really care if it’s a 5x or 500x increase, it’s a reasonable requirement in 2029 IMO. The cost of transit bandwidth is nothing.
