That is in part the result of the capitalistic world we live in. Research must lead to a tangible result. That means there is not enough fundamental research. Also humanity is deeply flawed. We are unable to foresee the results of our actions. Our intelligence is far more developed then our wisdom. We are toddlers with a loaded gun.

Popular Post Axial Posted February 9, 2019 Author Popular Post Share Posted February 9, 2019 Who, is becoming in control of the global telecommunication network (5G and Twitter), will get richer than Amazon's own Jeff Bezos...the richest man on the planet Earth, and rule this paradise. I know it, you know it, they know it. The big game is on, all across the globe...China, Russia, Canada, France, Germany, UK, Australia, Saudi Arabia, Africa and USA. I was born in North America from Canadian parents and my ancestors came from France...Europa. I do have North America Indian and Irish and French blood. When I bleed I bleed red. Make your guess about what that makes me. Anyway the latest: ▪ https://business.financialpost.com/opinion/terence-corcoran-americans-are-trying-to-kill-huawei-canada-shouldnt-be-helping-them What do I think? I think he's certainly right, obviously. Canadians are too easily influencable and not taking their own lead in the global financial world of telecommunication. You have to follow the true leaders of the free world, us. Nobody else. It's only by working all together that we can achieve great things to all great people everywhere on the globe from every different various blood colors. Artificial Intelligence is a universal thing, not a selfish goal. Who's breathing the air around and under and above, you or your neighbor? Are we safe, or insane? ...A little bit of both, more or less. We sure have our priorities all mixed up from different backgrounds and schools. It would be safer to opt for the former. But are we sane enough to pick the right option? Me I think not, not from what I'm seeing on TV and Instagram. There is only one thing that keeps me optimistic; faith. But faith won't save me from all the insanity. Ralf11, mordante, elcorso and 1 other 3 1 Sound Matters Link to comment

Axial Posted February 20, 2019 Author Share Posted February 20, 2019 The world leader in 5G ... • http://www.fortune.com/2019/02/19/huawei-ceo-ren-zhengfei-u-s-cannot-crush-us/ The UK is now OK with Huawei 5G products. Canada too now because they always follow the Queen (of England). It's in the blood...Kings and Queens. But USA is not OK. They don't follow the Queen, they follow the prince ... of Saudi Arabia, and his dad, the King of the Kingdom. Iran...no good, USA is not happy with Iran and Huawei. Screw 5G from Huawei, USA wants none to do with their 5G products...zero minus zero. And Canada is between a hard rock and influencers from USA...China. No good that 5G thing from Huawei with all the thefts and fights and control for world dominance in 5G network telecommunication empire. Those tiny antennae they hurt before they're even here. This crushing crusade will eventually crash the economic financial market (banks) and the world health care humanitarian system. All the gold and oil from Venezuela will end up in Siberia. ...Way of speech extension. People from Venezuela could benefit from 5G technology, medicine, water, food, blankets, toothbrushes, toothpaste, bar soaps, chocolates, candies, chips, coke and Kellogs cereals. Why they just don't get 5G cell phones and get over that guy who tries to buy them all for his own armies of boy scouts. Beats me that we live in a democracy and in peace with our worst respected enemies. ...Diplomatic sarcasm here, pushed to 5G humor. But it's not that funny in reality, it's very sad for the people and all their good neighbors. That truck driver needs to visit Siberia and open his own driving business carrying the worst criminals from jails to jails in hope that during the transfers their trucks freeze and get stuck in the ice.

Yep, but I've been in @esldude's position (area without reasonable ground-based internet service), which can make even satellite with its latency start to look attractive.

But covers the basics. You can find details elsewhere. You'll need what has been described as a large briefcase or large pizza box device on your end to connect. Beamforming antennas will receive and transmit. Gigabit speeds decent latency. Some articles have surmised early customers might be banks doing rapid trading, because in some latitudes roundtrip times between major financial centers could slightly beat the best fiber. I'm not sure if that would turn out to be the case. Musk doesn't see this as a competitor to 5G directly to my knowledge. But a pizza box connected to local wireless would seem like it could be used in that manner easier than the large number of short range radios that will be needed for 5G to cover areas. Seems to me 5G will have to concentrate more than ever on dense cities. Musk's internet would have no such needs. So I do think it would reach non-urban areas that 5G may never see or will do so only many years from now.

The current AT&T network seems unable to survive when routers are upgraded by offshore techs... My AT&T DSL functions as if there has been a nuclear attack. I think they must have the wrong idea. Two orders of magnitude over what I have still isn't gigabit. My service peaks in wee hours of the morning with 5 meg down and .5 meg up speeds. At one time the up speed would sometimes reach 1 meg, but in the past year they've changed it so you never get over 500 kbps. I suppose Musk's system would have redundancy as there will be several thousand satellites with at least a few visible to your receiving station at any time.
