Couldnt we just give it to the small towns, to DO it themselves?
Should be allot cheaper.
Could even purchase the materials, hardware, servers, Fiber and market it to the Towns.
Or is that nationalism?
Almost everything in this nation has been backed by the gov. Every advancement that has done anything. The problem tends to be when we GIVE it to the Private agencies to keep working.
The greatest trick about using wireless security, esp with digital, tends to be to Bury it in LOTS of use.
Making it military only? Nah! bury it in tons of other communications. Not restricting it makes for Tons of use. And in the background is the digital military.
Its like the idea of using the post office to send Diamonds. The odds of finding them to steal isnt very good.
Whats funny tho, is 5G. So you are setting up the system 5G for the military. But what about other countries? They use those bands for things also. This would only reside in the USA and be very convoluted in other countries.
Looked at your area. https://www.antennaweb.org/results
You would need:
Large directional antenna(motor driven to change directions)
Good booster
And good height(above most trees)
This suggests 7 channels.
What could be nice is if there are a few people Near you, and you could all share the signal from a Large Antenna. as well as the costs.
If commercials got Short and sweet.
But thats not the problem. Its that 5-10 min of Total commercials,
Every 15-20 min.
And if you watch close, 2 things can happen TO THE GAME.
it continues while you were watching commercials..
They do, STOP the game for that time to Let you watch the WHOLE game.
The first one, is what will kill a game, Quickly.
The second is miserable. for the reason that a game that would be 1-1.5 hours is NOW, 2-3 hours long.
But who wins? The corp selling the adverts for the game. Not the game, not the advertiser. And the Owner gets a share.
Live in a town, that has this small group of adults who DONT watch over their OWN kids?
They dont care what they do or how.
But, if one gets in trouble they are THERE with the lawyer to protect the kid?
Boys will be boys.
Now how many NEW police agencies have been created in 20 years?
What was Their jobs to be?
Which one of these, has been put in charge of all the rest of our agencies?
If the Gov. actually TALKED to the people.
Told us what they wanted to do, and how.
Asked our opinion.
Listened to us(hard as hell when we all have diff opinions)
I would love a decent questionnaire, to ASK us what we wanted. Not what Trump wants, NOT the repubs or the Demo.
But they arnt listening.
The know Less about this country then we do.
Iv seen allot of people Finally start looking at pads.
Esp once they Figure out HOW to use them AT HOME.
Allot of the Cellphone companies had/have them hidden, and Charge allot for them.
But once you find out that wondering around your home and using it to scan the web abd do mail.. ITS NOT SO BAD.
But tech has almost LEft them behind. Unless you want to pay ALMOST as much as you would a New Top of the line Cellphone, with all the fancy features, its stupid.
There are some Good deals out there. but Learn about the TIME FRAME and the tech first.
A simple pad with a 1080 screen, and wireless, SHOULDNT cost you an arm and leg. Im not paying a price Equal or MORE then my computer.
I could go into the numbers on this And bore all of you, as most of you Probably already get the idea.
After you take taxes out of a workers pay check,
After his bills, Insurance, Car payments, Rents, Food, Family, and a few other misc. Things THEY HAVE TO PAY.
What are the first things you drop, to save money?
Beer, entertainment, and the dog.
You will go cheap on the beer, the Dog gets Cheaper food or eats at the table, and the entertainment? How to make it Cheap?
ASIF, you dont still have some 50+ yo people who REMEMBER that there is a BROADCAST SYSTEM, and HOW it works. And why there is a Channel selector ON THE TV.
Yes its kinda nice to have 200+ channels to watch, but do you REALLY watch all, most, a fair amount of them?
Are most of the channels from a Group that rotates the shows? And you end up with all of them showing the SAME, as the others during the year? Do you REALLY watch allot of sports? religion? Alternative language? News? Opinion?
How about you really look at the list, and decide how many you could LIVE WITH. Generally I will bet <20. So out of 200 channels, you watch 20. 1/10, but you pay 100%. If you could Pay for what you watch(FCC was trying to get this done, ala carte). Why in the world are you paying >$100 per month when it Could be $10.
Some of the companies have figured some of this. And gone to the internet, but They are charging $??. about 10 times as much as you SHOULD be paying for their service. The Cable corps dont pay NEAR what you Will be paying.
So, lets install the equipment and see whats Around the area. Ifyou are in Metro area, and have a good setup, Probably about 3-4 locations to point the antenna at and 40-100 channels, with allot of over lap. CBS, NBC, FOX, Independents, and Many common channels, and some REALLY interesting, strange and religious.
Now the question. Can you deal with whats out there? And Why in hell have you been paying $100 per month for Many of the same channels you can watch Locally. For the last ?? years?
The real question is can you get a return on what you paid Cable/sat. NOPE.
Paying for a perpetual service is paying perpetually.
Is what I get get others to acknowledge.
English is a strange language and even the lawyers are having fun with this idea.
A realty company sent out a flyer to come to a Meeting and Win a prize while sitting and listening to their spiel, for a few hours.
The advert suggested you could Win 'This AND that'.
I called and questioned then about 'This and That', as I know the word AND is inclusive, meaning I get Both.
The person on the phone debated with me the meaning, and I suggested THEY LOOK IT UP. And Talk to a lawyer when others ASK for BOTH Gifts.
Once you get ahold of a judge, and have them listen to you and MAYBE another person for a week, 2 weeks, a MONTH of debate. They are looking for Anyway to get out of it.
Would love to give each side 1 day to declare and Then let the judges decide. NOT 6 months of finagling, and adjustments to the claims and demands.
Is the Gov. for international work.
I cant see anything NEEDED past 10MBps.
If YT send a Video at full speed, not ~500KBps, and not loading Any excess, before you are ready to watch it, a 20 min vid of 20gig would hit your phone and take up all the spare space in about 1 min, MAX. And your Daily cap will start to disappear. YT does it slower as NOT to take All your bandwidth, and you can stop it anytime.
There is very little reasoning for Super Duper High speed unless you have the Amounts of Speed and Room and DATA needed to be sent. And I doubt that anyone would want 1terabyte of data to be transferred to them in <1 hour.
Came to a head during the early industrial in the USA.
People hired to break up unionizing.
Paid for by the companies.
There really wasnt much payment and support by the Poor.
But they werent being Paid enough to do much.
Unions finally got made, even after all the fighting from both sides.
The rich of the City decided to keep them around.
To help keep the poor in their places.
To keep the Blacks, the Irish, the Chinese, and everyone else in line.
The Elections of officials, tended to be backed by those with money. Most were good people, doing the job. But time and money to Back a favorite of those Supporting the police, not counting the poor paying Taxes to support the police, ends up in good/bad coming to the top.
