Right now the high-end fabrication competition is TMSC, Samsung, and Intel. All three are supported by nations. The idea that we should just let the freemarket handle the issue doesn't feel grounded in practicality.

The idea is that a lawyer that hasn't gone to law school or passed the bar is a worse lawyer. If true, then they would presumably be the cheapest lawyers too. This means the quality gap between a good lawyer and a bad lawyer will be l

The land is expensive. The people that own the land have capital. The people that own the land leverage their position of authority to influence local regulations. This is all just part of the premium.

Zoom recommends 3.8Mbps for uploading 1080p video. Being able to do 1080p video conferencing is an expectation of broadband. Raising the definition of broadband to meet this basic requirement is clearly a win. I do think 25Mbps up is more
