Re: And the issue here is . . . ? Microwave relay only works in a minority of locations. Most cell sites nowadays, at least in built-up areas, are "stealth", such as brick-colored panel antennas on brick walls, or antennas inside steeples. Relay dishes just don't fit. Because the ILECs charge so much for backhaul ("special access"), the cellcos, especially the ones who are *not* ATT or VZ, are going to alternatives as much as possible. But it's not usually possible.
Adding cell sites in many areas is almost impossible anyway. Towns just don't want more antennas. The politics of NIMBY are incredible. So the realistic answer is to ration (hint: charge!) usage.
Those who want unlimited video streams on their ISP service, especially wireless, should only be allowed to use it when riding their pony. The pink one. |
