It's not about maintaining the past, but we are _so bad_ in utilizing the existing infrastructure efficiently, that we are now trying to build a completly new one in the airspace above us.
Why not push what we have to the limits, gladly in innovative ways, instead of adding just another half-baked layer?

Nah... I want faster internet so I can work from home in a rural area and don't have to spend a third of my income on rent, because I need to live close to my work because we don't have cheap and fast public transportation.
- shoto_io 5y agoInfrastructure is completely overrated for innovation. We have global leaders in tiny villages on the Schwäbische Alb, who deliver parts to anywhere in the World without having an Autobahn anywhere near them. If you have ever been to the Silicon Valley you might have noticed that internet and wireless is a mess. At least when I lived there it was really bad. Same with any cab service by the way, which are way more efficient in Germany. Improving infrastructure might increase your personal efficiency. It won't help innovation in any way. PS: A great example how infrastructure is irrelevant can be seen in this Ted Talk. It compares India and China after WWII. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UR-uWwvpn5c https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UR-uWwvpn5c
- LargoLasskhyfv 5y agoTED talks are overrated for information/education. I wasted 18 minutes, and it has given me nothing. One could maybe discusss differences in protocol implementations, regarding error correction, latency, overhead on networks of a given topology. This was nothing like that.
