So, How Fast Will LTE Be, Really? > Sigh

This is why we need one national agency that oversees all telecommunications infrastructure development. Infrastructure should be a net zero project. Companies making profit by selling infrastructure services are just draining the country of money.

Where are they draining it to?

Aren't they making money for investors, and buying materials from vendors, and hiring people to do jobs? Or would you prefer that they just cater to your every wish and whim?

said by sonicmerlin:

Making money for investors is not a goal that helps when providing infrastructure service, which inherently has huge barriers of entry.

All the other things you mentioned would be accomplished by a national agency that built the infrastructure and licensed it out to ISPs who wanted to provide service over it, all at lower cost due to the net zero expense goal.

Or would you prefer that these corps suck the life out of the US economy for the next 50 years?
