Dave, am Very Curious to know what the Interesting People list collective
think or would be IS The Best AND Most Assured/Effective way to effectuate
a (long overdue!) solution to what cross country truck driver Curtis Lund
comments on (in the ref'd *Variety* article below) regarding The Issue Of
Solving The Nationwide Coverage GAPs Issue as exhibited by our extant
("negligent") private enterprise providers we all have been and currently
tolerate/living with?

Curtis Lund says:

*As a cross country truck driver I can tell you that there is minimal or
zero cellular service along many stretches of our highway system, and many
small towns as well that have none.* *So if we are going to compete with
China, Japan, and many other countries that have better national coverage
for their citizenship than we do*, we have to make 5G nationwide coverage a
big part of any infrastructure overhaul plan moving toward.
*Right now the major carriers don’t bid on FCC licenses for spectrum in
rural areas do to the minimum ROI for their shareholders.* But a 5G
nationwide system would benefit all Americans the same way as our
nationwide power grid and landline system has done.
And one last thing, we Americans pay twice as much in our cellular bills
and get half as much compared to what other citizens in many countries
do. *They
have faster cheaper, and fuller coverage than we do.* Dammit let’s quit
talking about it, and just do it!
