Re: Slowdown In most part I agree. One little thing about humans ... we have the audacity to use necessity as a mother of invention.
No matter how much the Telcos try to control, PPL are starting to get wise and creating their own mini networks, which in turn are piped into fiber. Also Free AP's are everywhere and Telcos can't shut them down. Many are using satellite dishes to improve their signals as well. As repeaters are more prevalent it's easier to hide and privacy hits higher standards 
A number of them are using any connections they can, including passive ground, main electrical grids, unused frequencies and many more. Mind yo many are experimental they do exist. Tesla would be proud 
All that higher prices and control freaks are doing is forcing PPL to alternate ways and Telcos cutting their own throats. Therefore Telco's scare tactics will not win.  -- Please engage eyeballs and retain functional brain before operating fingers. |
