    It would if he uses mobile hotspots from his phone like I do sometimes

    swim uses about 150-200gig/mo on tmobile . just speed tested with no efforts to try to conceal that the traffic is from tether: with full bars inside a bldg got 25Mbps down and .42 up . 5g would probably slash that to NOTHING

    The problem is simply what we call "spectrum crunch". Unfortunately, there's only so many frequencies available over radio communications, this is a hard physics problem that we can't really overcome, it's why America started cutting OTA TV in the past years, to make room for cellular bands. Tomorrow's wireless technologies will be almost entirely based around compression and load balancing techniques rather than newer radios because you can't keep subdividing the radio spectrum forever. As the mobile internet market grows, the spectrum will become more and more crowded.

    sorry 'we', who's 'we'?

    Easy solution to spectrum running out is directional links. The 60ghz spectrum is already used quite a bit for this purpose and delivers multi gigabit links at long distances with amazing reliability, but the units cost a few thousand a piece. I don't get why the technology isn't radically cheaper by now.

    Also is stealing dishes a good idea?

    It's not used because it is very inefficient and the back end technology is simply not there yet. We currently use omnidirectional antennas because we haven't really figured out how to dynamically split up the spectrum by area efficiently. Some areas have more congestion, some areas have less. You're essentially going to be gambling with antenna placement, unless you want some kind of dynamic moving antenna array on each tower, which has its own host of upkeep and reliability problems.

    thats what you get for believing anything that is a 'major publication' has any credibility.

    CNN...NYT...washington post...all are 'major' and have admitted to falsifying articles after being busted. imagine what goes on that they arent busted for.

    additionally, the 'major publications' have financial backers (you dont really think theres a lot of money to be made there, do you?) who have agendas that use their 'major publications' to advance.

    I just read/watch major news networks every once in a while to see what the Illuminati/ZOG is up to

    So basically because it's hard and people are too stupid to do it right?

    WISPs usually use sectional antennas and supply their customers with dishes. It's not ideal, but it works well enough.

    no, this is phalse.

    when eventually we runs out of the GHz range, we simply move over to THz range.

    its that simple.

    last I checked what they're now calling 5G is mostly just a protocol spec upgrade from HSDPA, specifically targeting video traffic - they're able to compress high-resolution video further now that modern phones are able to decode it in realtime

    Yeah, I was talking to someone who worked on the technology a year ago out near Palo Alto. it's basically much to do with CoDec but some hardware modification of pre-existing technology. The reason is getting permission from EPA and such to upgrade hardware at existing towers. putting in new Towers is in fact a decade off before they could even complete it.

    so it's a bit of both that has truths to it.

    Again it's the red tape due to people crying about the turning up Ghz ranges and building new towers in front of their homes and causing Cancer and all of that shit. so the company is changing out some hardware, turning up power and working on compression-decompression packets.

    It's more that the technology isn't easy to implement at scale.

    clearly if I was technical I wouldn't be driving full time (but probably part time because it's a pretty cool job, meeting people) yet I get the gist of it.

    This is why i want to get into some kind of programming class. just bite the big fees and maybe man up and Join a bootcamp. but I am broke and barely have enough to pay next months car payments, insurance, phone and food. so even if I had all 20-30k given to me.. I'd still wouldn't have time to work and live.


    I have to take the slower rout

    all that wireless shit has potential to influence the human mind btw.

    I actually think it's very sinister and alarming, but it's going at such a subtle pace that even if you're aware of it, you're probably not alarmed by it unless you are literally a Stallman-tier user of and believer in FOSS and (F)OSH. I think Google and shit are probably influencing us in ways we (and perhaps even they) don't even understand.
