Pai's dissent touched on a point no one I've talked to has considered: the hundreds of tiny carriers--mostly WISPs--across the US who might/will be affected by this. They can barely compete against big telco and cable as is.

Just go in every day and do it really half-assed. That's the American Way.

Fixed terrestrial wireless is indeed a substitute to cable and DSL (especially DSL)

Comedians say much worse on a daily basis and rarely catch any flack. Are regular people not allowed to make jokes?

Great for competition now, sure, but once copper and coax become obsolete Google becomes the new incumbent monopoly. How is that good for anyone?

Jacob Appelbaum is known for overstating his abilities and trying to pass himself off as someone who knows what he's doing. Glad to see others are realizing this.

Point-to-point microwave latency should be the same as fiber latency at the same distance. Multipoint systems used by most WISPs are TDMA-based and should have a fixed latency well below 10ms depending on how many active users are on a cell

Smashes battery life too I bet. Also, why XFCE? Wouldn't Unity be closer to Aqua in terms of resource (ab)use?

Why isn't a large ISP like Verizon directly peered with Netflix? Why waste money and bandwidth on transit?

And 2.4 GHz continues to go to shit with 5 GHz close behind. It's bad enough I can't turn off the WiFi on my own (rented) modem without having to call someone and go through the rigmarole, now there's a second network to deal
