Eh, I'd limit that to developed areas or areas otherwise too difficult to do 
with LEO or fixed wireless. 

Rural areas with people, fixed wireless will still be king. 
Rural areas without people, LEO will be king.

Even though it would put us out of biz, fiber is the need of the future. Every 
thing else is stop gap, for fixed locations.

You would think that since they bothered coming up with excuses why the current 
standard isn't good enough, they could at least come up with a number based on 
their imagined need, instead of just coming up with a random number with no 
basis in anything other than "100/100 sounds good". 


It's not that hard... according to them, Zoom needs 3.8mbps upload per 1080p 
stream (and obviously everybody in the house absolutely needs to be using 
1080p), so lets say a lot of households are running 5 simultaneous Zoom 
sessions (which I'm guessing is actually fairly rare)... that's 19Mbps, so 
throw in some overhead and make it, say 25Mbps. That's realistically going to 
be way more upload bandwidth than the vast majority of people ever need, so why 
exactly do we need to make the standard four times that? 


I guess it's one way to only fund fiber, which probably isn't a terrible idea 
if we're going to insist on throwing tax payer money away on such projects.

As long as they're tossing arbitrary numbers for need out there without any

to make it happen. No need for ROW, we will take the O out of OTARD and give it 
a big fat REeeee. Dont want us running cable through your living room to your 
neighbors house? Move. That 300 year old oak is in the way? Federal money for 
husqvarna solutions. 1 watt per mhz? F that, 1.12 gigawatt at the cpe. We will 
burn those obstructions out of the way, make it disappear like micheal j fox in 
a Polaroid.

Just create another CBRS database and let's get a huge swath of spectrum 
dedicated to PTMP without huge fees for rural areas. Lots of places where we 
could service 700-800 people if only more spectrum was available and it 
wouldn't impact anyone else in that band. If it does? Shut it off. Spectrum 
feels like such a wasted resource. We could be doing so much more with it, we 
understand how it propagates and software can now handle that on the fly in 
order to allocate to as many people as possible. I honestly think a fluid and 
dynamic database like this is the future of wireless.

Meth and kickbacks. They need to just free up 500mhz-120ghz for just WISP use. 
Then each wisp can have a ton of spectrum to get that porn to every device --
