I think this is one of those things where we should open it up (with limits, I’m not saying we should allow 10kW base stations or something obscene like that) and see what innovation we usher in? I’m guessing it will be good enough out in t

That is my understanding as well. It is like faulting “Chinese manufacturing” when they actually mean bottom of the barrel cheapest option. I mean the Chinese manufacturers build everything from Xboxes and iPhones to fly by night knock offs
