Cable/sat/cell phone
Had this excuse while back about, Everyone having access based on, Cellphone and Sat availability.
You can go anywhere in the USA and get a signal.
ISNT the greatest way to do thing.
Then someone Raised the min speed to be considered 'High speed'.
Everyone wants to split pennies. The taxes go up and so does the rent, which causes the renter to pay more or move.
Love the % sales tax on things, as the Store takes abit, then the collector takes abit, then the state gets the rest.
"launch more satellites, install more ground stations, and improve our networking software"
Sounds like a real Builder. But I will bet, he is the middle man in the system, selling the services to the other agencies.(cable/sat) And will soon add 1 more part to this, TV broadcast.
Adding a basic repeater isnt to hard, its finding the Bands to send the data.
The old, very old TV/cable sats up there are getting really old.
Its befuddled me about how corps have a product that the Cost hasnt changed, they have smaller companies Compete to get the contracts Lower cost, but every year the prices go up.
The prices he is suggesting is almost double what I pay for those same speeds. But time for payback on building the system Should take to long. And will the price go down? Not if he is the middleman. Otherwise he (being the primary distributor) would have to build up the land lines, or have the state Give him access to what is there(that wont happen), unless he buys out the local system.
I hope you understand this, but dont think you will.
Buyer beware has always been the CORP WAY.
CHEAP as hell, and make it look PRETTY, does not make a good product.
Guns? are already being sold under the counter, even without the Internet.
A smart police force USE'S what is available and if it AINT THERE, they know nothing of what is happening.
Think about that. If they have the availability to find an underground newspaper, to see Who in there area is selling guns. Do you think they will try to USE IT?
The easiest way to catch a thief is to Fill a house will somethings they WANT, and sit outside waiting. But if they are willing to do it themselves, all the better.
If you dont let it seem that they have abit of privacy, they will hide DEEPER, and do things by the backdoor where you CANT SEE IT.
Then lets go 1 step farther. WHO are you trying to protect from being an IDIOT, and doing it on a Public access internet site?
WELLL.
Thats a pretty good question.
But why not ask, Why we have them, if they have NO POWER to enforce the regulations?
Almost none of them have an enforcement service. And those in charge CANT/WONT. Unless there is someone pushing them to do something.
And the only ones doing it are those political ones, that want to Piss off a group, to BACK them.
The problem is the same as the past. After the state fixes everything, the corps Bitch about it,and the Gov. sells it at BELOW cost back to them. And thank God for a FAIR PUC(installed after the corps started playing with prices)
I love the complaints of What this is/will do/ and how much it costs. The funny thing about that is that following the freeway system, and interlinking from point to point to point. Isnt/wouldnt be so bad.
But who is doing it that way? And was the original system built that way? Creating a straight line as a back bone would be a waste of time, and do little to expand it. But wasnt that PART of the original? It wasnt designed for EVERYONE. But they may have thought about Fixing/updating it, and ran it around the old freeway or rail lines system.
Has the gov, updated the system? redone it, re-run the lines, Done a full re-install over the years?
We know the problem at the final mile, as its NOT a mile, its 1000's of miles. And probably has so many patches and dents in the lines and some of it is old enough to be your grandfather. That no one has Ever seen it after it was placed in the ground. and the lines up in the air, are a patch work of Cuts and shorts, and the price of copper is do High. They would loose money taking it down.
I really wonder if the states/cities and the franchise laws means they would have to RE-do the contracts, and pay MORE to get access to all the road work.
Who thinks we have infected the world leaders with abit of Syphilis. And as they age, it takes over their minds.
NOW that would be an interesting conspiracy.
Its interesting that so many countries TRY to be independent, and have to fight it, to be independent. Not allowing other countries to take advantage, and slowly take control over them.
Why would anyone want this to go further?
THEIR opion was removed?
OR and opinion posted by another person they wanted to rely/respond/debate/Take to court, was removed?
Can we get those that want EVERYTHING, recorded and no Erasure, to agree on Something that COULD be erased.
Mostly due to the fact of EDITING. And no site wishes to EDIT the whole thing, as well as that also makes it an opinion OF that site.
The problem with a good debate tends to be HOW each side see's the problem/opinion/obstacle, and The facts involved tend to be more opinion then anything else.
Allot of this can go back to the McCarthy Era. Who is right, who is wrong, and what is the price of an OPINION.
Good question, but the only democracy we have is SELECTING who is to represent us in this nation.
ANd hope and pray they DO the job.
The problem tends to Be, WHO selects Who.
Do we really have a choice?
We didnt decide Who was running,
We didnt decide the Abilities they needed
The education they needed, or anything Else.
They were only 2? supplied by a 3rd party, and the candidates Probably were NEVER raised in this area.
Originally,
Cable WANTED to be advert free, but the corps said NOPE we wont deal with you if you dont allow our Adverts.
Understand something here. ALL the groups we are talking about here were LOCALLY broadcast, most of the adverts WOULD NOT be local.
Cable Buckled under So that they could get things going. Cable wanted most of the system FREE to everyone, but ended up PAYING to get content running. Which then went to the Customers to pay.
But we got Channels we didnt have, and SHOWS we didnt get, esp in the Rural areas, where religion and Allot of restrictions WERE on TV for the area.
Even NOW, Some shows arent seen in certain areas. Blocked bypassed, what ever.
Cable Sat dont supply the:
What I want to watch,
WHEN I want to watch/read/play.
The FCC(until recently) was ASKING/suggesting/demanding the Cable/sat to do better with ala carte, Choose what you want programming.
Insted of 20 religious channels, insted of 16 sports channels, Insted of NATIONAL sports picking international, was NOT a choice, Insted of NEWS, insted of ALL the crap, you didnt want.. Packages that YOU SELECTED.
Even if it was LOCAL only for $20, ALL the local, no the few that PAID them.
It that bars and small locations and even Stadiums PAY a monthly fee to cover ANY/ALL chances of music or what ever being used IN the venue, when music is being played.
Why isnt this a THING? Or is the music/movie industry NOT willing to give that consesion? OR Are they willing But also willing to CHARGE huge fee's? Beyond what a local Bar/stadium pays?
Isnt this like the problem Sat radio had? and took a few years to get things ironed out? Even Apple itunes got hit.
I get the idea that Running around the world claiming 'We are the best', is still in motion, even when we are falling behind everyone Else?
Advancement for Money
Tech for money
Everything for money
Supplying a $0.10 part to make something better will now cost you $100, to the consumer and everyone else, except THEM.
This only leads to bad things. When you take the Jester out of the Kings court, all you get to hear is lies.
When those that represent us, and are supposed to be fair and balanced, seem to LEAN 1 way or another, and FORCE it on everyone, without alternate opinions being considered. The Boat seems to be leaning to 1 side and may start to sink.
Why does it seem that the ship is sinking. Esp when congress gets MORE money then we pay them? to do WHAT?
Mess things up MORE.
"convinced the First Amendment should override moderation decisions by social media companies."
So, internet Services have no Rights to Monitor and censor Basic comments on their OWN forums and chats?
So, Umm Why dont they pass this onto NEWSPAPERS? TV? CABLE/SAT?
Or how about Product/goods/services evaluations posted on the NET. Which is very interesting as SOME corps are suing people over BAD evaluations.
There REALLY isnt a loss to perpetual goods, Except the purpose to USE it in every way possible.
The biggest problem, tends to be Greed on top, and the idiocy in HOW things are created or built.
These are NOT the builders of the 3 generations ago. These are the Bill collectors. They dont even know how much Any of this costs, from their OWN goods to the re-building of a Lunch room for the workers.
Most laws have a beginning. When some person took advantage of a situation or person or group or what ever.
And it was decided it was a BAD thing.
Then there are laws in place to play favorites. Like the Hemp laws.
Then we have regulations on how a business or Thing should be controlled or run. Like the stock exchange and banking industry.
What happens when no one pays attention to 1 of these things, its abit bad. But when event he gov. dont pay attention to those that THEY created and they control...everything become a Spit Show.
The story has been explained in more then 1 way.
That She released everything in the box Except 'Hope'.
But did she get rid of all the Other crap to GO away, or to FIll the world with all the crap we dont want.
Either hope is locked up and we cant get it,
Or its the only thing we got left.
Im tired of believing HOPE, is all we got. Think its time to Show those responsible that it ISNT enough.
