Depending on how this is applied/interpreted, I could see reasons to oppose it. For example, there can be a lot of "lawful traffic" that is harmful to a network. T-Mobile's T&C say that these things are disallowed: &

5G speeds are improving rapidly. https://www.speedtest.net/global-index/united-states Verizon launched mid-band 5G in Q1 2022 and saw its average speeds increase from 79Mbps to 107Mbps. That might not seem like much, b

Totally possible, but the original question was "Is there a NON-culture/political reason for all the push back" and "Twitter stock price was higher than Musk’s offer for most of 2021" is definitely a non-cultural&#x

Prices are sticky and they're betting that their costs will come back down in the future. They don't want to hike prices, ruin their brand and market positioning, just to see things like aluminum prices come back to normal in 6 mo

I think the issue is that 5G was initially rolled out with hand-waving and marketing. The initial 5G rollouts in the US have been on low-band spectrum (below 1GHz) with companies using 5-15MHz channels (or in the case of Verizon, not even g

This is a nice change. It looks like it used to be $15/mo per 100 Million rows read, $15/mo per 10 Million rows written. Now it's $1 per billion reads and $1.50 per 1 million writes. So the write pricing hasn't changed,
