This is what happens when the industry claims 5G is the answer to life the universe and everything. Instead of 42, you get a brand that means nothing at all.
Congrats to Rep. Bob Latta for being selected by Committee Chair Cathy McMorris Rodgers to lead Republicans on the Communications and Technology (C&T) Subcommittee on the Energy and Commerce Committee!

There are many @WISPA members in rural areas providing our customers similar services and similar pricing to what is available in urban areas. That it's not sufficient to interest AT&T or other ex-monopolies isn't a bad thing. Creating new monopolies with government money is.
The basic error here is assuming rural broadband is unprofitable. Those who live on government subsidies would have you believe it's the only method possible. Amplex and many other small business are proving that incorrect.
Congress and the FCC want to spend Billions of dollars to raise the definition of broadband to 100/100 or even 1000/1000. The upload speed number ONLY exists to pick a specific technology - fiber. There is no actual current or even future demand for extremely high upload.
30 days of fixed wireless broadband usage. Our customers use a lot of data - One at 4.2Tb, Two over 3Tb, FortyFour over 2Tb, and 564 over a Tb. Average of 375Gb down, 26Gb upload. Total transfers? 6,486 Pb to customers, 0.227 Pb upload.
Given the success WISP's have made of the most 'shared' spectrum in the world - the unlicensed ISM bands, I absolutely agree with both of your statements!
