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.

    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

    the cpe. We will burn those obstructions out of the way, make it

        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
