What are they waiting for? Go build it!

Pretty sad how so many people now wait for the government to do everything for them.
where are they going to get the spectrum? the FCC keeps allowing the incumbents (for the major part) to suck up any and all spectrum.

so if the incumbents that own the spectrum aren't interested in providing service in their area, how do you propose they "Go build it!"?

just askin

How did Ford invent the assembly line process?

How did Bell invent the phone?

How did Edison invent the light bulb?

How did Carnegie build the domestic steel industry?

People can do things if they really want to. Why should the government be expected to do this?

I will type slowly so you understand.

they need licensed spectrum (as far as I know).

they don't have and can't get licensed spectrum because it's mostly (entirely?) owned by the incumbents, who don't give a sh1t about WVa.

are you suggesting they defy the laws of the U.S. and illegally use licensed spectrum? I assume you certainly don't want them to "beg" the government for spectrum. Maybe they should kidnap the CEOs of the incumbents and hold them for spectrum ransom. That's taking the initiative.

I was in Morgantown WV last winter with my nephew, checking out WVU. We were in the same hotel room, yet his Verizon phone got no signal, while my AT&T phone connected.

The US govt. has a tendency to make rural projects governmental ones, because the private companies don't see enough profit in it. TVA, anyone?

I guess there will be no wireless broadband for WV then, until of course, the government comes and gives it to that state.
