Comment on It’s Time To Rethink 6G.
deranger@sh.itjust.works 1 week agoI don’t need wireless 1Gbps around town.
Lots of us live in areas with no broadband competition, more options is a good thing. I personally wouldn’t use wireless broadband but if they can bring prices down through competition I’m all for it.

The solution to which is broadband competition.

No, actually the solution is broadband nationalisation.

That’s just another monopoly. How much do you trust your government?

I pay the cheapest electricity of all of the OECD, and rake in billions every year that is reinvested in society. Thank supply side Jesus for publically owned monopolies.

I like nationalising industries, but here in France, privatizing France Telecom made Internet and phone prices much cheaper.

Only because it is highly regulated. The FAIs have to allow everyone access to the network. Free wouldn’t exist if it wasn’t for that.

A part is thanks to free (the company) refusing to oligopole up the prices.

That too

Yeah, that’s why faster wireless broadband is a good thing.

Hmmm. I guess.
