Presuming you mean infrastructure, land lines have the added complexity of all the property negotiations and intrenched interests that are often corrupt, often dysfunctional monopolies and sometimes both. Putting a device on a pole is relatively simple.

- xscott 2y ago> Presuming you mean infrastructure Why would you presume that? The guy I replied to made an argument about ICEs being more complex than electric motors. And fwiw, it looks like that post has been edited a ton. I was replying to a relatively simple (and questionable) statement.
