but we have satellites the bring wireless technology right to my doorstep—?

why would I want a shitty ass tech that requires nodes almost ever 100ft?

buzzing around my head all day is bad enough!

Of course. If you nationalize it, people won't be able to sue corporations when they realize that cancer clusters pop up around these things. Quite a brilliant strategy to transfer the liability to the American taxpayer (I'm sure we'll have something akin to those vaccine injury funds available for victims) while simultaneously convincing them that you are looking out for them.

I'd much rather have a nationalized fiber network.

Cell phones deserve the same warning labels cigarettes have:

Beyond being focused death rays, there are a number of issues: wireless is inherently insecure so if it were developed for use as home internet, a line underground would still be superior (build a fiber grid). What am I supposed to use as a base-station anyway? A $1000 iPhone that I have to replace every few years because they stop supporting it? Sure, if it's subsidized (a waste of money). A device similar to my dsl/cable modem? ...that piece of shit gets patched once a year if I'm lucky. If 5G is going to be as pervasive as people are wanting it to be, you can bet your last dollar that there are going to be people working to break it and pwn your devices. Wireless is insecure. It causes cancer. Never use it. 5G = focused death rays.

Take a lesson from the failure that is the National Broadband Network in Australia and actually build the fucking network at the national level using the best available technology and then lease access to private organizations as a wholesale provider. From there it's up to the private companies to provide enough bandwidth to the customers they group together to achieve full speed and since that can mean lower speeds for lower prices it also means higher prices for higher quality service. It's about as free and fair as you can make it while keeping everything standardized unlike the cable/fiber/copper/satellite bullshit we have here which will have to be totally rebuilt in the long term so do it right the first time and avoid our fate.

Instead, what he should do is have a large chunk of spectrum opened up to unlicensed public use. People will make their own networks.

As a base option, could be a good idea as internet is a must have infrastructure these days. However, cellular frequencies should be public domain to allow for private local internets without the need for wired infrastructure. As long as there's a government board deciding who can offer internet access there's an issue.

There's probably as many reasons for as there are against.

I'm down with this actually.
