Makes me wonder if the whole net neutrality debate had somehow an objective to buy more time for the companies to upgrade their networks while still deploying 4G services as a means of prioritizing traffic between wireless and land.
This will be a massive undertaking, even with microwave equipment. No company no matter it's resources will have a hard time deploying 4G. This could of as aa reason for Verizon to introduce FIOS, because those very same fiber links could be the backhaul for their wireless services.
The limitation of copper is also little with DOCSIS. The 4G Utopia is occuring at a time when the economy is not as stable as it used to be.
This will cost companies trillions of dollars to just to upgrade to 4G, but this upgrade is probably the most significant as well.
P.S Posting this while traveling on a bus at 85mph from 29 Palms, CA to Los Angeles, CA on my Sprint EVDO connection with is considered 3G technology. A nice 137KB/sec steady 75ms latency stream as I download a few updates. |
