10 Mbps 2 FAST 4 AT&T

Back in the day, when I worked for "the phone company," I thought that they/we should be moving toward a high speed digital phone network that provided that service to every household cheaply.

The people in control did not think the way I did AT ALL.

Their focus was purely on playing the stall game with the government.

The federal government made AT&T have a network that was up all the time as well.

That was the agreement as AT&T was a legal monopoly.

As with speed, features, etc., so went their arguments, the management at AT&T did not like complying with the government’s insistence that we have a network that worked all the time either.

At the very beginning of divestiture , a company vice-president gave a presentation to us where the message was that we no longer needed to provide golden service. 
---
How pathetic was this. We can finally call our own shots, and the best that this vice-president of the company can come up with is an excuse to discontinue the one thing we had going for us.

My then girlfriend, in the health profession, was completely dismissive of the Information Technology profession.

I told her that it was a computer that made that dial tone for her.

She said "God makes that dial tone!"

Now the FCC wants to redefine what a BROADBAND wireless network is.

From the current 4 Mbps to 10 Mbps.

AT&T and VERIZON say what we have now is "good enough for them."
---
Of course, COMCAST agrees, the last thing they want is wireless at a high data rate.
---

These NON-VISIONARIES need to wake up.

The more the bandwidth, the neater the types of uses there will be for their network.

This will create/maintain continuous growth.

Stagnation will go you know where.

AT&T and Verizon say 10 Mbps is too fast for “broadband,” 4 Mbps is enough
