Fiber is cool and all, but there is a HUUUUUGE amount of areas that aren't lucky enough to have fiber and wireless is the only way to go. So, we up the minimum to 100 Mbps just because some areas are lucky enough to have fiber? -Mike On Fri, May 28, 2021 at 3:38 PM Lady Benjamin Cannon of Glencoe, ASCE < lb () 6by7 net> wrote:

If they aren't actually using it, then why up the minimum? Simple, our time isn’t free. The less time humanity itself spends waiting on downloads, the more we spend loving, celebrating, embracing, playing and exploring. Really, fiber is fiber, it’s just about optics from there, and those are cheap. Relatively speaking. (And ignoring WISPSs and rural economies of scale but I digress.) 8 billion fiber drops for 8 billion people. That’s what it will take to wire the future. 32k res AR environments; 1TB video games, distance learning via implant, full self driving cars - Qualcomm itself says bandwidth is to grow 1000-fold in the next 9 years alone.
