Lol. No. Government regulation gave you that - it was the price the company had to pay for a monopoly, driven by utility commissions. I had to take an escalation on-call shift today. I’m sitting on top of a ski mountain right now, outside, on HN waiting for my family after dealing with a problem. Network latency didn’t even enter into my mind in the last month. In the Bellhead world I’d be sitting in my living room chained to the phone or on a $200/mo phone from my employer close to home. Making our modern technology stack wouldn’t have represented the best return on assets for AT&T and its successor Bell companies. Why would you deliver 500 Mbps service to a mountain?
